OHMG... Caffeine withdrawals are no joke.. I usually can quit coffee cold turkey and have no problems not today. Today is pre-op day 1 and I decided to ween myself off caffeine as well so that I won't have withdrawals after surgery.. Wow I literally have had a headache since I woke up this morning hour #8 have tried Tylenol extra strength to no real help.. Sorry all just needed to vent!! My current mood....

Does anyone know why we're supposed to give up caffeine pre-op? It's been so hard for me too!

I was told so that you don't have to experience withdrawal symptoms on top of surgery healing. I cannot have coffee until like week 4-6 post-op but not sure I want to go through this again Decaf sucks.. lol

Caffeine dehydrates you that is why they want us to give it up.

I was told not to go cold turkey. Add a little bit less each day to a cup of decaffeinated coffee.

If anyone is looking for a good tasting Protein Shake, I just tried the caramel Premier Protein shake and it is DELICIOUS! I thought the chocolate was good but wow, this is so good! Happy Thursday, everyone! We got this! [emoji4]

@babyfat23 I tried to have a small cup of coffee and the headache didn't go away even when I gave in. My body wanted a morning coffee and was not having it .. lol.. Day 2 the headaches gone I got lots of rest and I'm so tired the energy is gone I guess I'm prepping for how I will feel post-op??

Honestly my body wanted a Venti White chocolate Mocha with whip from Starbucks but I refused... lol

Thanks for letting me know! I'm scared to try anything but chocolate since most other flavors are so nasty. What does it taste like?

[SeaSounders♥ 225]

@CamillaCallie I LLLOOOVVEE The chocolate one has been my go to for years the caramel was a little sweet for me but one day I hope to add it to coffee or add more skim milk so its not so sweet. Thanks for sharing!

Now I see why it's so important to use benefiber. I am feeling it.

It tastes like a caramel sundae! It is sweet but it's a change of pace if you want to switch it up from the chocolate. Enjoy!
