AniracIre 17 Posted March 5, 2018 Anyone else going through major caffeine withdrawals trying to prep for surgery? I'm day 7 of no caffeine and I still have headaches! Any tips? Drink lots of Water, if you're at day 7 since your last coffee, then you are nearly there. It took me about 7 days before I felt ok when I did the same.I think it's a great idea to kick the caffeine before surgery so that you are not battling too many lifestyle changes at the same time.HW 365 CW 345 GW 220Sleeve scheduled 6th March Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Has anyone else experienced this kind of thing? Me too, just nerves, you are before me so I will watch and see best of luck. 1 Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DivaGirl06 4 Posted March 6, 2018 I am scheduled for 3/12 and its hard to believe that is 6 days away. I am fortunate that I do not have to do 2 weeks of liquids. My surgeon has a 2 day liquid diet. Prior to that I have been doing Protein Shakes for Breakfast, lunch and then meat and veggies for dinner. 1 Apple203 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
