What is your addiction

What food or drink is or will be the hardest to not have on a regular bases.
Mine is Soft Drinks. At this point I drink about 8-9 glasses a day.

Just to start out I have not been banded yet.

I am not sure about the food. I hope (but am not counting on) being able to eat most of the same stuff. But I like to eat lots of it. I had never heard the term "volume eater" before this website, but I think that is what I am.

I think carbinated drinks will not be hard to give up but the convience of them will be a challange to ignore. I was trying to go with out them and yesterday was great but today I ordered one and did not realize it till I was almost done.

 Drinking with my meal will be very hard I think.

  my addiction is carbs     pastas & sandwiches   and yes Crystal not drinking with meals is very hard  in fact I am still fighting it.  I have a suggestion for your soda...  do you have a frig  at work?  if so  go to our favorite store  it seems like, Wal Mart,   and get there brand of stuff like Crystal light   it comes in alot of flavors  and keep a "jug" of it in the frig  it is so  much better nice and cold   my favs are grape, cherry, and sometimes lemonade. willa  


  hey  the board is getting more active.....  thanks  to the   "if you post they will come"  thanks  to whom ever statrted this    

Soda was kind of hard for me but I haven't had one for over two years. I buy the wal-mart brand sugar free drink mixes as well. I keep a jug mixed up in the fridge and I take the smaller packs for a single serving to work. I like the grape and cherry lemonade. Kroger brand is good as well I like the tropical punch the best.

Most of the time when I go out to eat I order a glass of water that I some times sip prior to my meal. There are times that I don't order a drink.

I use to drink 1 or 2 20 oz bottle of diet pepsi every day at work and at least 4 cans of fresca every evening and one in the morning to get me going. I quit after my first consult with my surgeon.

I am going to miss chewing gum and bread.  I have said good bye to gum over 2 months ago, and I am very minimal with bread.  I only eat it when on a burger, and eating out.
