Caffeine withdrawals

I need some feedback. Monday, I drank my last Diet Pepsi. I have been doing better than I thought I would with no soda. Well today is the first day that I have had no caffeine at all. I don't drink tons of coffee or soda normally. Usually just one caffeinated beverage a day is all I need. 

So, I am trying to get off the caffeine before surgery and.....it sucks!!!

My head has been killing me all day. I thought part of it may be allergies but I have taken allergy meds twice today and the pain is still pretty intense. When do you start feeling better after kicking the caffeine habit? What did you go through when you gave it up? 

Arrrghh!

I gave mine up gradually but I guess I am doing it wrong cause my tea has caffeine in it. Anyways it is good to stop all of the bad stuff prior to your pre op.

Anyways I have heard that the headaches can last for two weeks.

I gave mine up gradually too and now I don't miss it.  Better to do it early than wait until surgery and have that withdrawl on top of all the things that come with surgery.  You'll have enough to focus on without having to worry about caffiene withdrawl post-op too yet.

Keep going!

It's not bad at all.  I'm almost 3 years out and hardly ever have any.  Switched over to decaf after surgery and enjoy it. . . that way I can count my coffee as my liquid for the day :)  Once you get used to it, you should feel better.
