I believe that your stay in the hospital will go much smoother if you

don'thave to cope with caffeine withdrawal. I have been told that you

should wean yourself off caffeine the week before surgery. You are

not going to get your caffeine fix while there and the headaches and

withdrawal won't make your recovery any easier. I weaned myself off

of straight caffeine by mixing decaff grounds with regular grounds

50-50. After a couple of days I decreased the regular to 25% and

increased decaff to 75%. Should have you in good shape to stop all

caffeine after about 5 days.

Just use your imagination to picture yourself in the hospital after

surgery and you are sweating, shaking, and have painful headaches and

you are nauseaus. And these nasty symptoms have absolutely nothing to

do with your surgery. Do yourself a favor, at least for the

hospitalization, and withdraw from your dependence on caffeine while

you still have time to do it right.

Once I got completely off caffeine I found I didn't want to go back.

Good luck,

Cathy

Not to worry. I was served coffee the same day of surgery, later that afternoon

and it was on my tray the following morning. In between I asked for and

received coffee from the floor. You just get to sip one ounce at a time like

every 15 min.

Enjoy.

Subject: Caffiene...was question about soda

This is one question that has been bothering me. Will I be able to have my

morning cup of coffee, even right after the surgery? I drink only a cup a

day. I do not drink sodas. Yet if I miss my one cup of coffee I have had

severe headaches. Once I even had withdrawals...shivers, nausea, etc.
