Well I am only 6 days away and thank goodness for each and everyone of you giving insight and support. I thought I was doing great, but now that I am actually in the no caffeine phase and cannot take Advil because my surgery is so close so I am feeling some pretty intense caffeine headaches and feeling like an idiot. I was so proud of myself for how easily I gave up Diet Coke (my favorite thing ever) last month. Well I replaced it with Diet Snapple and who am I kidding that stuff tastes great and has a bunch of caffeine so I actually just replaced my vice with a similar one and since it didn't have carbonation made myself believe I was making a positive change.
I knew when I swapped those two that it wasn't that big of a difference, but I just didn't feel like dealing with it. I figured by this time I would be so close to my surgery I would barely notice. I was very wrong and wish I had taken the time to wean myself off the caffeine slowly. It's amazing how addicted our bodies can become to certain chemicals. I am at day 3 though so everything I read shows the headaches should be almost over by now. I just keep reminding myself it's not easy doing the right thing, but it is worth it
