Soda

Ok my deitician told me I could have an ocasional soda now. So I did. It gave me gas but no other problems. The only thing is, I never want one again. I felt like I could drink them all the time again. I felt like I would not be able to control myself and would become a diet coke junkie again. Through this surgery experiance I have felt like I gained control over things again, and something so silly as diet soda will not be what I lose it over now. Just sharing. Jenn

Jenn, Thanks for sharing!! My surgeon said no soda at all ever for me. The thing is that I thought that I would miss it but I don't. After all the water we have to get in there just isn't enough room left to put more in. Just my 2 cents. Thanks, Becky P.

Mine said never for me too. I know a girl who had surgery & still drinks them. She has only lost 30% of her excess weight in 14 months....not blaming it on soda's but I am like an all or none person. I think I better leave them alone since the plan without them seems to be working so well. Christie

I've not drank any soda since surgery and I don't have the desire too. I know of a lot of people who drink diet soda and don't have any problems at all. The way I look at it is if I drink soda than that interferes with my water intake and I struggle with getting it all in as it is. Deanna

I have not had a soda since before surgery. I have had a sip or two but I have no desire to drink one. Just the few sips that I had gave me the hicups and I couldn't stop belching. That is just one habit that I am glad that I have control over. I used to drink way too much of it before.

I am the same way too... I don't want to even "open that door" if you know what I mean. Everytime I see a can of diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper I want to grab it and gulp the whole thing. But I know that I will slip into bad habits again so I take a "strawful" of diet soda once in awhile and I leave it at that. I am doing the same thing with SF candy. I ate too much once and it made me dump so bad, I don't ever want to open that door again! Good luck battling that soda pop demon! HUGS~ Jamie
