Strat, when you start the 1/2 caf make sure you get a "naturally" decaffenated coffee. It will say naturally on it. If it doesnt, it is decaffenated by chemical and the chemicals themselves can cause headaches. Many brands naturally decaf now.

WASA, look at the bright side. You could have been eating pie in the recliner. The inclination to run would have never been on my radar. Glad to hear you are back on track and hope next week the idiot gods pass you by.

I have stopped using caffeine in the past. Did it by gradually adding more decaf and decreasing the caffenated grounds. Keeps the full flavor and allows adjutment time. I used columbian for both to keep the flavor consistent.

Oohh fencepost. Caffiene is also a primary ingredient in Sudafed. So much so that I cant take it. Withdrawal stinks. I am early in this process and still on the "fence" pun intended. I have startd mixing my coffee 1/2 1/2 decaf to regular to wean my way off. Hang in there. I love this board as I have already changed my mind from band. Still not sure abount sleeve vs. RNY vs GB but getting closer.
