Soft Drinks
Today is my last day of having soft drinks. I have been slowly decreasing my amount the past week. well today is Sunday and this is my last day of having Soft drinks. I am scared of waking up tomorrow morning and not having my first drink of soda. It won't be in the house for me to drink but it isn't hard to drive thru and get one. It will now be all up to me. OH THE PRESSURE...LOL
IT MAY HELP TO KEEP A BOTTLE OF WATER ON HAND. SOME PEOPLE PUT CRYSTAL LITE IN THE WATER WHICH MAY ALSO HELP. I DON'T DRINK SODA EITHER. FORTUNATELY I NEVER GOT HOOKED TO IT BECAUSE THE "AIR" ALWAYS MADE ME HICCUP. LOL :) ANYHOW, YOU CAN DO IT!
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!
Refraining from soda is a tough habit to break for many of us. I like my Mountain Dew.
It is good tostop gradually like you are before surgery. That I what I am attempting.
That way I do not have to stop cold turkey.
There are so many things that we must stop, and to stop them all right after surgrey would be sooooo miserable.
I have stopped gum chewing.
Cutting out almost all breads.
I am down to one Dew in the mornings, during the week. I think it is a crutch, similar to others coffee in the morning. I dont think I will cut out my morning Dew untill I have a surgery data.
Good luck, and wishing you much success.

This past April was 2 years since I have had a soda. recently I have thought about having one but have been fighting the urge. I quit cold trukey after my first consult with my surgeon. I drank 1 or 2 20 oz diet pepsi's at work and at least 4 cans of fresca every evening and one in the morning to get me going
Now I drink the wal mart brand of sugar free drink mix. Grape is my favorite, also kroger brand tropical punch. I keep a jug full in the fridge and the individual packs at work. I usually carry a few on my motorcycle when I am out riding. You may be able to tell I am not real big on just plain water.
My surgeon made it pretty clear that I was going to have to make changes for life, so I consider no soda one of those. It's been 19 months since surgery, I know I could probably drink it now with no ill effects, but just one bad habit I don't wish to resume.

One thing I would add to these other comments is dont think of it as giving things up but a decision that you have made and dont think about it... yes i had tough things and during the tough times I think this wa my decision and I knew_____ wasnt going to be a friend anymore so if I am going to get what I want long term that is out of my life..... I probably dont make a lot of sense to you young people but thats how old F--ts thinks remember IF IT IS WORTH HAVING IT IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR!!!!!! not yelling just stressing the the idea...
