Help Me!! I am feeling weak!!!!

So Janie- are you just drinking water all day? I'm drinking boatloads of Crystal Lite- wish I could get hooked on the water... Holly

Holly - yes, I try to get 80-100 oz in each day. I am in the bathroom alot. lol! I used to drink the crystal lite too, but I noticed that I got tired of it and couldn't drink as much. I think as long as you're drinking a sugar free non caffeniated drink you're fine!

Crystal- That is fabulous and exactly what I was hoping you would say!!! Some of the foods I've craved I've tried and been like- wow- that wasn't nearly as good as I thought it would be or I think it wasn't worth the calories!!! Holly

WOOHOO!! Glad you did not like it!! And holding is not a bad thing......you know eventually the scales will start to move down again. Just hang in and keep doing what you been doing!

I never was a "diet coke" or diet anything drinker. Can't stand them. Instead I drank the real pure sugar stuff. I gave those up a month before I had surgery. I did however allow myself to have a 100 calorie can of coke the day after my birthday in July. I have had 3 - 100 calorie cans since then (all on different weekends). They don't really do anything for me anymore, except make me a little alert while studying. I do allow myself to get a diet cherry limeade from Sonic once a week. I have done this for the last two months. I get the medium, but I usually end up drinking only half. It's just not the same anymore. I prefer water or tea now. Good luck! Lindy

Crystal, is it the Diet Coke or the caffeine your are craving? The later can be like going cold turkey off drugs or cigarettes. Caffeine is addicting. If this is the case the best thing is to weather it out. If you are really craving Diet Coke, I would suggest caffeine free diet coke. Put it in a blender and beat the carbonation out of it. Sure way to make it flat. Just be prepared that the taste is not the same. If you want to risk the caffeine, thry Coke Zero and use the above method. The taste holds up better. Rich

Crystal sending hugs your way....I am right there with you. I am wanting a rootbeer even diet sounds good. I haven't given in to it though. Sigh but the want is still there. Stay strong sister....we're here for you!!! Anna
