Had my first coffee in two weeks.....

Okay.... so I know I was TOLD to refrain from any caffeine for a few weeks, but I just couldn't WAIT! Today, for the first time in 2 whole weeks, I had coffee with Nestle's Sugar Free French Vanilla creamer and a packet of Splenda. Hallelujah! (Can you hear the music?) Before I knew it, my "old" energy was back (with a VENGANCE) and I was putting laundry away and cleaning out the microwave.... I was real careful to take it slow and observe just how I felt after the first few sips. NO nausea..... NO cramping.... NOTHING! (Except the energy thing I mentioned!) (I would like to put forth a disclaimer, though, as I don't want anyone doing anything that may be harmful to them personally). ~Teri~ 311/279/262/140

I just started drinking decaf this week, finally. I had ordered some good decaf flavored coffee from my favorite coffee shop in Gatlinburg, TN. When I finally use all of this up, I may start back on a little 'leaded' coffee here and there. I am having a hard time getting all my fluids in as it is, though, so I try to only have the one cup of coffee. But YES! Having something from my 'former life' to enjoy feels very good now, nearly three weeks out from surgery! Sandy L
