Do you follow the rules and stay away from coffee/tea (caffeine) or do you still drink it?

I gave up caffeine the day of my sleep study. I've had no more than 2 or 3 cups of coffee since. I don't even miss it. I drink a lot of herbal teas now.

95% of the time - Yes. I live on decaf iced coffee and decaf iced tea...but there are times if I have a headache or just feel whipped that I won't deprive myself of that little jolt..I figure if the majority of the time I stay on target then I can forgive myself on those rare occasions when I don't.

I have had no caffeine for over 2 years now. I drink either plain water or flavored water (SF from walmart).

At my 6 month check-up I asked my surgeon as I had been treating myself to a fat free latte a few times a week. He told me that at this time I was ok, just to be careful and not over do. I am drinking 5-6 a week, but that is no where near what i used to drink in the form of Diet Pepsi so guess I am doing ok.

I hate coffee...the smell and the taste, so that's not a big deal. Tea, I only would drink that maybe 6-10 times a year, loaded with sugar! Now I avoid it because I know I can't drink it without 3 or 4 spoons of sugar in it!

I stay away from caffeine, it has not been a problem for me. Vivienne

I still drink my coffee with SF creamer but only about a quarter of what I used to. Now I have a couple of cups in the morning and maybe 1-2 later in the afternoon/evening. I used to drink 3-4 pots - Lori

I never drank it because of the taste. I still don't like it so it is no problem for me.

Still drink coffee and dabble in some diet soda
