Caffeine
I had my initial consultation last Friday. I made it a goal to be off caffeine by the time I go back for my food instruction this coming Friday. I have been day-by-day reducing the amount of caffeine I have had and I had my last Diet Dr. Pepper this morning at 8:00 a.m. I have such a headache. I read somewhere that the worst of the withdrawal is going to hit about 24 to 48 hours from your last intake. Any suggestions to lessen the withdrawal symptoms?

Just know that it will pass! You are on a great road to success by gradually getting off that caffeine. I have been caffeine free since March 8th when I began MRC conditioning and I feel wonderful! Take some aspirin if you need to and drink your water. Congrats ~Angela

I was told b-12 would help with caffiene withdrawal.

The only thing that worked for me was time. It sucked, and I miss my diet cokes and skinny vanilla lattes. But I'll live. Plus I can't imagine drinking anything else on top of 100 oz of water a day. Yeesh

Thanks, everybody! I got some B12 and I'm drinking a lot of water. So far I've got a headache but it hasn't been as bad as I expected.

Not a good caffiene day for me already. I think because I weighed at home the last couple days and no loss. Weigh in is tomorrow and I can't imagine losing the 3 lbs we had targeted for overnight. So I got tired of being tired from the withdrawals this morning and have already had a 44oz diet coke fromt he service station and working on a 12 ounce can at my desk. I had cut my intake in half. I am going to try to do better. I just need to fight these eating thoughts that are in my head as well. sigh

Drink water. I know how hard this is. I was 6 can a day diet coke girl with a multitude of coffee on top of that. Since I keep water in front of me it's gotten easier. I starting cutting back when I started pre-conditioning a two weeks ago, and now I don't even want it. You can do it!

I had been doing better, just a bad morning. I normally dring upwards of 200 ounces of diet coke/dr pepper a day. I drink that much no matter what I drink, I just need to switch it to water.

I was a Coke Zero/Diet Dr.Pepper ADDICT.. plus coffee.. It took me probably a good week to get rid of the headache's. I drink my water, but I still miss coke. I haven't had any since I started November 09. I do have an occasional Diet Rite. It's not the same, but it helps with the soda fizz...
You can do it. I keep a 32 oz bottle of water on my desk all day. I drink all of my water before I leave for the day. If it's in front of me I'll drink it. B12 helps too..

I've been keeping cold water close to me all the time and then I've mixed Crystal Light in at times to mix it up a little. I also went and got some of the Clear American water from WalMart to get a little of the sweet taste. It's been making it a little easier. I'm at 27 hours since I last had caffeine and I am hurting but I keep telling myself it's temporary and it will be worth it.

I like soda for the carbonation, so when I want something like that, I drink Pellegrino or a sparkling mineral water. Give it a try, the glass bottles of Pellegrino sell at costco and each one is 24 oz.

It's the caffeine and flavor for me. I like the fountain drinks best because they don't have as much carbonation.
