Carbonation

Does anyone crave pop?  Every once in a while I want a diet mountain dew?  It's crazy but I love the stuff.  Do we ever get to a point where we can have perhaps 1 pop every once in a while.  I am 2 years out and have lost 127 pounds so I feel successful and don't want to digress but sometimes I can't help myself. Any thoughts?

 

Thanks

I am naughty and have pop now and then.. I love the diet cherry 7-up myself.  Not suppose to have it.. but do.   So don't allow my bad example influence you any..

My doc is okay with carbonation :)  so I get to indulge!  He just said as long as it doesnt upset pouchy (which is doesnt) becasue some ppl get more sensitive after WLS.  I am 3+ years out.  Lori

I do not miss my diet Cokes, that I drank in excess.  I will occassionally have one, but only out of desperation.  I do get sick of water, and sometimes have one if there is no unsweet iced tea on a menu, like Burger King, where I eat part of a Whopper Jr.  I hate how I feel after drinking soda, so I avoid it. Hope this helps. Trish

I'm having a diet dr pepper right now.  I'll probably have two of these today.  AND I'm drinking it with a straw!  Heretic - I know :) I'm almost 4 years out, have lost approx 150 lbs and have maintained at a steady 132-138 for the last 2.5 years. I don't believe in "never" "forbidden" etc.  Tell me I absolutely cannot have something and my sick butt is gonna not only have it, but have it in excess. Temperence and reasonability is probably the key here. I probably drink too much soda, but I do get my water, and I do take my vitamins, and I do exercise and try to take care of myself. I think you'll be fine with the occasional carbonated beverage.  I am (so long as it's not beer lol - a whole OTHER story altogether). love and light, Michelle
