Topic: RE: Soft Drinks
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.

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.

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!

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.

Topic: RE: What is the most amusing thing suggested instead of surgery?
I am not post op yet, but I have a funny story.
Co-worker found out I was on a all liquid diet, doctor supervised.
She asked if had bm's on the liquid diet. I did not answer. She then preceeded to tell me that 10 lbs of my weight loss was not real. This would be due to all the fecel matter leaving my system.
What a nut job to bring up that part of weight loss.

Topic: 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

Great job Willa! Try to lift 30 lbs, it is a lot of weight. You are that much lighter. Keep up the good work. 
By the way I would like help to create a tracker if any one can help.
