Trying To Wean Myself Off Caffeine ( Diet Coke)

I dont drink coffee and I get all my caffeine from Diet Coke. I am hoping my surgey is November 26th so I thought I would start trying to quit now !!! The withdrawls are giving me an awful headache, I thought better now than when I have all the other post surgery symptoms to contend with, Anyone been thru this ? I would appreciate any suggestions? Doesnt help that I work for Coca Cola !!

well, when i started my pre ops, they said no more soda (or after)

so i stopped the first day. had a headache for 3 or 4 days and now

i do not miss it. i drank it and had stock in it...trust me, its gonna be

okay w/o it. you wont die from not having it.

Excederine has caffeine in it. I used it as a sort of crutch to ween off caffeine. When I had the nasty headache, I'd take two to calm my pounding head. It helped me to kick the soda habit.
