I am getting off of caffeine (coffee, my main drug) before surgery so I don't have the horrible withdrawal headache. I have been gradually getting off since the new year. This is very difficult for me because I am ADHD and coffee truly acts like a stimulant for me. My brain does not function well without it. Plus, I get more headaches when I am completely off coffee/caffeine. Not the withdrawal headaches, but I am more prone to headaches once I am off coffee, no matter how long it has been.
Besides that I LOVE coffee. I am addict, I don't mind admitting it. I think I love it so much because it makes my brain function better. I just don't feel the same without it.
When did you start drinking coffee again after surgery? I would think in the beginning on liquids it wouldn't be a good idea so I will stick with hot tea. I never stopped when I had the VSG done and could not for the life of me understand why I had the runs.. And it was Starbucks no less! I mean, what was I thinking!? I eventually got off of caffeine and drank decaf for about 4 months after surgery until my headaches got so bad I decided to get back on the regular stuff.
I am happy that so many people drink coffee post surgery and I can actually have whipping cream in my coffee every day! Yum!!!
I coffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
