I gave up caffeine today, and I want to gouge my eyes out. I only drink 1 cup of black coffee a day, but damn, the caffeine withdrawal is no joke!

@@jenbaby75, You can do it! I gave up caffeine (1 qt/day) on the first of November. The first week was hell, but I feel amazing by comparison now. Good luck! The actual experience is different for everyone, but you can do it.

@@The_Maite, Same to you. Keep it up. I suggest getting a mix of savory and sweet liquids to keep some variety in the mix.

I gave up caffeine when I started my 15-day pre-op diet and wasn't allowed any again until 30 days post-op. I literally counted the days! It was ROUGH. Giving up caffeine AND food at the same time was unwise. I probably should have quit the caffeine first, so I was over that hump BEFORE I had to give food for my pre-op diet.
