About coffee
Hi Lydia
Coffee, soda and straws were the first things that I gave up after I decided to have WSL. I figured it was best to get over my coffee addiction prior to having surgery. My first two weeks were really hard. I had caffeine withdraw really bad. (Nasty headaches, sluggishness (sp) and irritability. My habit was to drink two 20 oz WAWA coffees in the AM and a 20 oz French Vanilla Cappachino in the evening.
Since I really enjoy hot drinks, I switched over to Herbal Teas. I had surgery on 12/08/04. I recently tried a WAWA small coffee and found I no longer like the taste. I wasn't able to fini****
Maybe try a gradual change. Slowly go down in cup size or slowly change the mix from 100% real coffee to 100% decaf coffee.
