HELP kicking Caffenine
Im having troubles 
Quitting smoking was so hard now I realize how much Coffee I was drinking.
I have tried to lower it. I bought maxwell house half the caffenine coffee and I have a mug in the morning and I was taking a 16oz with me to work.
This is TOO much according to all my reasearch.
What do you ladies drink the morning to "wake you up"?
LOL
I hate this

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
I was a HUGE caffeine addict
Seriously, a gallon of iced tea a day, plus soda, etc...
I cut down as much as I could, little by little.
Now, in the mornings I have a cup of coffee, 1/2 the caffeine, and decaf mixed...lol. Maybe a soda, but for the most part everything I buy is decaf.
When I have too much caffeine now (more than 2-3 cups) I get so nauseous and sick!!!

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
No help here...I drink way too much coffee and don't know how to stop either...
Have you tried switching to just decaf...I don't really think it's too much different than regular coffee...but, then again, it won't really wake you up...
Ugh...I just realized that my response is not helping AT ALL...so, I'm just going to stop writing now...
Anyway...good luck!!!!

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
i am so with you! I love my AM coffee, it keeps me sane and calm while driving to work. However, i pretty much have given it up now that we are TTC and it has been soo hard! I will have a some maybe once or twice a week, but i really have made an effort to stop. I now drink water on the way to work and sometimes treat myself to a hot chocolate (even though i know that has caffeine too). I sometimes will drink green tea on the way to work (instead of before i go to bed). I will prob buy some decaf if i get preggos down the road. Between givng up the coffee and diet soda, and then I wonder why i have been getting bad headaches!!

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
I think I might try tea.
I was just reading that Moderate caffeine is ok. And I couldnt ever cut out completly anyway
But it said 2 cups( mugs) of coffee is equal in caffeine to 7 cups of tea and 8 cans of soda.
SO its really only COFFEE thats the issue.
UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

i thought green tea had a lot of caffeine in it. and i also thought it wasn't advised to drink any herbal teas during pregnancy, because herbs are not regulated or something. i don't know, i could be mixed up

I thought tea had more caffeine than coffee.
But my OB told me 1 cup a day was fine.

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
Have a looksee 
Consumer Reports
Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant should drink no more than two cups of coffee or four cups of black tea a day; to guard their bones, postmenopausal women should probably stick with the same limits. Caffeine can also precipitate heartburn, anxiety, and rapid heartbeat.

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
Donna - try drinking Green Tea. I was drinking too much coffee back in the day so I would only have one cup in the morning - and then supplement the other cups with Green Tea. It really helped!

Re: HELP kicking Caffenine
This is one of my biggest struggles with TTC. I love my coffee!!! I have about 1 cup per week now and have switched to either decaf coffee or green tea the other days of the week.
