coke? So you are saying that you don't even really crave them anymore? I

always want something to sip on at night like a coke. How hard was this for

you to get through?

Coffee still smells good,but it's like acid in my mouth....okay,that was a

little dramatic,but you get the idea! I strongly suggest you " wean from the

bean " at least 1 week pre-op,because the caffiene headaches are a doozy! I

switched over to Starbuck's decaf(strong!) then off of that.To get off coke,I

switched to LaCroix(lemon).It fooled my system enough.You don't want a

caffeine headache post-op....you've got enough to deal with!The weekend I

gave it up I had a head cold,caffeine headache,andhypertension

headaches....and worked a 20 hour shift...ugh! I just got it all overwith at

once! Oh,and I was PMSing and writing good-bye letters to my kids! Just got

it over with in one really crappy weekend!LOL!

Good luck w/ the BEAN
