So I limit myself to two cups a week (when I'm not in my TWW), and so far that's done the trick. I'm also super sensitive to caffeine, so I only drink it when I really need it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-799756 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:26:24 +0000 PurplePumps 799756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my morning coffee. I think it's more for the taste and sipping a nice warm liquid than the caffeine though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-799730 Wed, 22 May 2013 07:06:49 +0000 ValentineMommy 799730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, need it to live.

It didn't matter what form it came in, but it was to the point where I would get a massive headache and the shakes if I didn't have some caffeine before about 10 in the morning. I cut out all caffeine for quite awhile because I hated my dependency, and now I just enjoy a tea or soda when I feel like one (not because i need it). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-794265 Sun, 19 May 2013 18:26:51 +0000 Dandelion 794265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love coffee...I drink every morning and if I don't, I stay tired all day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-794202 Sun, 19 May 2013 17:10:53 +0000 Anagram 794202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sed to be majorly addicted to coffee. But then I had my GERD nightmare and was on a bland diet for a few months and stopped cold turkey.</p> <p>Even after the GERD became more manageable, I've kept it down to 1 coffee drink a day, and no sodas of any kind. I realized I wasn't addicted any more when I hated coffee from week 6-week 17 of my pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-794019 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:13:05 +0000 mrsjazz 794019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't drink coffee or soda and I drink caffeine free tea :) On the rare occasion I drink soda, it's caffeine free! Caffeine makes my stomach hurt and makes my head feel weird. It didn't always do that and I do miss coffee, but just smelling it works for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-794016 Sun, 19 May 2013 13:08:55 +0000 kjpugs 794016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't vote because yes I drink coffee but no I'm not addicted. I don't have any effects from caffeine. I had genetic testing done recently which said I was a fast caffeine metabolizer so I guess that's why. I enjoy a hot beverage in the AM sometimes, and love an affogado (espresso over gelatto) but I could easily drink a huge latte and go to bed within an hour. Not everyone's body reacts to caffeine the same! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793956 Sun, 19 May 2013 12:15:40 +0000 BSB 793956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I prefer tea because it doesn't stain my teeth. But when I need to wake up, I get coffee. Actually, Starbucks lattes wake me up more than regular coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793604 Sun, 19 May 2013 05:18:03 +0000 Smurfette 793604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need my diet coke a day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793446 Sat, 18 May 2013 21:42:33 +0000 mrsjyw 793446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793442 Sat, 18 May 2013 21:41:31 +0000 PrincessBaby 793442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm addicted to iced green tea from SB:).

I bet you'll do fine w/the half-caff in the afternoon--that's what I do, and it's nice.

I developed an aversion to it while pregnant until my last month. Then I wanted iced coffee. I just enjoy it. It's tasty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793145 Sat, 18 May 2013 15:46:38 +0000 Mrsjets 793145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was a coffee lover until my BFP. I was scared of a MC so I quit cold turkey - and started having the occasional decafe instead. I changed my rare Pepsi to a caffeine free root beer or sprite. I didn't miss it after a month or so, so I haven't started again - 1 year PP. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793120 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:43:03 +0000 pl0508 793120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love it ! I'm super sensitive to caffeine though. I try to limit to one cup in the mornings but even then I usually wake with a headache if I don't have my morning cup ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793103 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:19:04 +0000 Bao 793103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can go a morning without it, but I like to have a cup every morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793095 Sat, 18 May 2013 14:10:10 +0000 doodlepoodle 793095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>199% yes!

I used to be though - if I missed a day I'd get headaches. Now I just drink it when I'm really tired or feeling down, and it cheers me up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-addicted-to-coffee-or-another-form-of-caffeine#post-793055 Sat, 18 May 2013 13:37:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 793055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't need it, but I do like coffee. I also like dr. pepper. I'd have a harder time giving that up than coffee. </p>
