Well I went cold turkey when I had my surg. also. I would drink about 4-5 cans of d. coke a day sometimes more weird things were happening to me. But once I stopped they stopped I have no desire to even take a sip But recently discovered that I cant have caffeine when I tried to drink a caf. hot tea ,(That i also gave up with the soda.) and those funky feeling came back I new it was the caffeine.
