Cafeine
Well for some reason after a yr of not drinking Coke, now that I am preggers I crave it like crazy. So every now and then I drink a Coke, but I notice a patern... Ofcourse I know It will make me more dehydrated and every morning after drinking just half a cup of coke I feel like my heart is about to pop out of my chest.
I cant say the same for Coffe, but BOY I CRAVE CARAMEL LATTES EVERY SINGLE DAY!
With all the BAD craving I have really lost track of how well I used to eat... I can sit here and eat a whole water melon..(ok not a whole one)... but most of it in 2 days..lol...
My Hubby is always teasing me before he goes of to work...
So I guess no more Coke for me...did anyone experience this?
I drank (am drinking) one or two cans of Coke Zero a day.... for the first 3-4 months I limited it to 1 can...but went up to 2 on some days now.
The caffeine doesn't bother me or the baby in the Coke....but if I switch my coke to tea (Like Snapple or even fresh brewed) the baby goes crazy with movement! I don't know why the caffeine would be different in tea vs. coke? Unless it's something else in the tea the baby loves (or hates).
I used to be a HUGE coffee drinker.... vente iced breve lattes every day..... but as soon as I got pregnant coffee (even decaf) disgusts me..... I hope I can enjoy it again after the baby is born!

Maybe you are just craving the taste of it and not really the caffeine? Maybe you could try caffeine free coke/diet coke? It's worth a try....Oh and if you want to replace coffee, you could try Postum. It's made from wheat or something. It tastes like the distant cousin of coffee. I like it now and then. I make it with milk and add in a flavored sugar free syrup like Caramel, White Chocolate, whatever I'm in the mood for.
I've never heard of anyone's heart racing from a half cup of coke. Maybe it's the sugar that's doing it? I know dumping can cause the heart to race. But I didn't look to see what WLS you may have had.
Take care.
