If you want to avoid the withdrawal headaches, or at least minimize them, try

weaning gradually. I switched slowly from regular to decaf coffee (kept

mixing in more decaf), stopped caffeinated soft drinks, and finally, gave up

iced tea.

I'm now 100% caffeine free, which I think will make my post-op experience a

lot happier.

Good luck on your surgery -
