Hi Ladies... I was wondering if any of you have any suggestions on what I can drink that doesnt have caffine. I used to be a big soda drinker now I have no soda at all. I thought I was doing the right thing by drinking only water and tea and now I find out that tea is high in caffine content. Any Ideas?

I used to be a HUGE soda drinker and coffee drinker. Now I have One cup of coffee in the morning and then if I feel like more during the day I have decaf. Maybe you can do the same with tea.

You can drink tea, just not all the time. The amount of caffiene is about 2 cups of coffee. a day, my doc. said it was fine fro me to have my cup of coffee in the morning. Moderation is the key.

I have one cup of coffee in the morning as well. My doctor said as long as I keep it under 5 cups a day I would be fine. Who drinks 5 cups a day!!!? I still crave the occasional diet coke, I only like fountain soda so I mix with caff free. There are some new flavored waters, or you can even try to add frozen fruit to your water for a little flavor so its not so boring!

Lots of sodas don't have caffeine and there's lots of tea that's decaf as well. Italian sodas are also good to drink - very refreshing :)

Hi Ladies... thank you for all your suggestions. I will try them all. I went to a italian grocery today and found Dr. Browns soda... to my surprise, it was caffine free. Diet Cream, Diet Black cherry and Diet root beer all caffine free. I am going to try the water with some frozen black berries in it tonight. Hope all of you are doing well.

knp - make sure youre aware of the artificial sweeteners in diet soda. thay do make caffeine free pepsi and coke that arent diet. Counting calories is a good thing just watch the sweeteners... some can be bad I guess ask the doc. I have 1 or 2 cups of coffee in the AM and I drink either decaf black tea or chamomile tea. I LOVE chamomile tea. ask your doc if you can have herbal teas theyre really relaxing.

i do the same as sunshine, i love chamomile tea especially before i go to bed, it helps me wind down. you should be careful of the atrificial sweetners in soda. sometimes i have flavored seltzer if i want something other than water. they are really good and cheap. most supermarkets sell their own brands. good luck
