ok whose gonna tell the truth?!

I will have a pepsi on occasion and that's when I have a really bad headache I'll take 2 Tylenols and chase it with some Pepsi and headache goes away. But I' don't do it often like I did pre-surgery.

WOW....the things I'm learning....Imma hafta try that!

  I read somewhere that caffeine makes the body absorb pain meds more easily. 

I remember when I was a little girl, my babysitter used to take BC Powder and wa**** down with one of those little glass bottles of coke.  I think it was a Southern thing.




Remember these?

I dont' have sodas often but when I do it is usually diet and I will from time to time have a "fat" i.e. regular soda.

I only drink diet pop every now and again. I have had 2 since surgery, and it took me atleast a week to drink a 20 oz. I use to be able to drink a 2 liter in just a few hours. Boy o boy how things have changed. lol

I don't care for soda any more.  The only time I will sip it is if I'm eating something and it feels too dry or dense for my pouch to handle.

 I stopped drinking all soda a year before surgery.  It was just something that I wanted to cut out and I did.  The irony is, that my employer supplies all types of flavors in 2 fully stocked fridges!  I had to stop.  It was getting out of control.  They also supply bottled water.  I made the switch to water and haven't looked back.   So, I haven't had the struggle others do with qutting sodas after surgery. 

I don't care for soda. In the last 12 years I'm sure I haven't dranks soda more than 20 times so thank goodness  that won't be a problem for me. I used to however have a deep addiction to Carb. Water, Pellagrino  in particular. I quit it about 9 months ago. I also stopped drinking beers & champagnes becaue I had heard that the carb water & the light beers may have assisted in my recent weight gain.
I figure once I'm allowed to drink I'll stick to wines & the occasional mojito margarita & martini. As far as regular drinks it was difficult to give up Pellagrino at 1st but now I've come to accept bottled water & Snapple Diet Tea.
