When if ever can I have it???

I havent tried it. I am afraid if it went down ok that I would start back and I don't want to.

Uhh, i feel stupid. i am drinking a Dr. Pepper right now. Guess i shouldnt huh? I drink a soda probably once every 3 days. Most of the time its because there is nothing left to drink in the hose and norman oklahoma water is appauling! CANT SPELL. LOL

I have weaned myself off pop for about two months now pre-surgery.  I actually took a small drink of my mom's pop a couple weeks ago just so I could down a pill.  The taste was already so tart to me.  I know this is bragging, but I think I really jumped a MAJOR hurdle quitting pop.  It was all a mental game.  I am totally satisfied with Propel, Crystal Light, and some water with lemon juice in it.   I think its just the flavor thing, I still have some flavor in the drink so my brain is happy.

You're right....it is a mental game. Coke, DP, Pepsi, etc.....they all can be drugs for some people. My cousin, who had a bypass in 2002 can drink any pop she wants. Her mother, who had a bypass in 1999 can't drink it. So...everyone's different. I think you DID clear a good hurdle!!!!!
