Caffeine Elmination
HOLY CRAP, Diet Coke sounds like the DEVIL!
I was into Diet Pepsi myself, but only 2 cans a day, tops (and I thought I was an addict!) I gave it up cold turkey when I decided to do this RNY thing, and didn't touch the stuff until August. I have had it probably 5 or 6 times total since last February. It's a treat, but I drink tiny sips, and swi**** around my mouth to kill the fizz before I swallow. I don't really miss it, but it is a treat once in a great while. And frankly, on a couple of occasions, it was just about the only choice I had for a beverage! Questionable water source, or a diet Pepsi. I don't know, but I've been in a few places where the water fountain and/or sink just looked nasty, ya know?
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
Some of the clear pops have caffeine in them. One really has to read the labels well. Had to go off caffeine a year due to heart problems and miss the coffee at times.
Some tea's also have caffeine in them so had to go to herbal tea. Hubby drinks diet right for the cola taste me I think it tastes ickie. Like Ginger Ale but barely have one in two days. So am working on not drinking it unless my tummy needs it.
