It is real! I quit caffeine two years ago and I thought I had the flu at first. Horrible headaches, but it does get better after a week.

Yeah. I had to stop caffeine with my 2 week pre-op diet and couldn't have it again until 30 days post-op. WORST TIME OF MY LIFE! :P

I weaned myself off it slowly, cutting from 2 big travel mugs of coffee to 1.5, then 1, then using a slightly smaller mug, then an even smaller one... until on Monday I decided I could go without. I had a nasty headache all day, but I think it was actually mostly due to seasonal allergies. Tuesday I was fine, I'm just missing the act of drinking coffee or iced tea. But I wanted to be through caffeine withdrawal before going on my liquid diet this coming Monday. Otherwise my husband might leave me! ;)

Yep! Caffeine withdraw is definitely real! I had to wean myself off by doing half & half. Half fully leaded, and half Decaf. The headaches were still there, but not as bad... Decaf is okay, but now I find myself not having coffee at all some days and I'm okay with it!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
