It's fast approaching.  It's 4 a.m. on the 9th.  I woke up with a horrible headache from caffeine/carb withdrawal.  So, I thought I'd come here and see if anyone had posted with a February 17th date.  

Hi Jennifer! ooo that caffiene withdrawal... that's a bish. I stopped drinking coffee in May 2009 (I absolutely LOVE coffee [black]!) because I was having trouble sleeping. So the only caffiene I get is from diet soda, which I pretty much only drink at restaurants (but I go out to eat often). I can knock back 10 glasses of soda at a restaurant (wow! I can't believe I typed that). 

So sorry you're having trouble. 

My surgery date is 2/28/2012. I cannot WAIT! I go to see my surgeon tomorrow. I don't know if he's going to put me on a no-carb diet or not. I have been eating like every meal is my last meal for about 2 weeks! 

Write me if you wanna chat. Warmly, Gigi

I have a 17th date-tomorrow will be the first day of the rest of my new healthy life!!  Good Luck with your RNY we should touch base after

Cheers!
