I am suffering y'all. I am trying to do this pre op diet without coffee and my head is about to pop. Is there anyone that can suggest a substitute caffeine to help take the edge off this withdrawal?

Help me. I don't think I can do this for another six days.

If you're allowed, take a tylenol for the headache. It is SO worth it to have the caffeine withdrawal done before you hit the post-op period. It's just one less thing to have to deal with after surgery.

Good luck! I know it's tough right now, but it's SO worth it in the long run! :)

Whoa! Do not stop caffeine cold turkey! Slowly cut it out. Have a small amount today and a little less tomorrow and by the third day you should be fine! :)

I agree with this. This is pretty much hoe I did it and I came off it fine. Don't let yourself suffer through it.

You can do it. I was a coffee addict prior surgery and I made without caffeine on my pre op and post op diets. Is hard but is necessary ,You will do fine.

I had to switch to Decaf when I found out that I had high blood pressure. Now I've been drinking it for so long I can't tell the difference anymore.

Too late. This is my second day without it no turning back now. I guess

I have Tylenol but it only takes the edge off for a short while. But at this point I plan on popping another dose

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to stick with this. Good thing is I lost 1 lb in a day ha.

I drink decafe coffee now but I hear ya. I did it cold turkey too and was a mama bear for a week. :) But it was nice to wake up in the morning and not need anything after that. I still miss my buzz from diet colas in the afternoon.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
