soda habit?
Jeannie,
I had one too but that was the first thing I tackled preop. I just quit cold turkey. I knew it was the best thing for me and I could not have it post op. I will tell you I was quite nauseous post op and was craving gingeral because that was a remedy I used for an upset tummy but I got through it.

Keep the faith 
Cold turkey is best. If unable to do that, consider letting yourself have a small portion, but only after you have had your 64 ounces of water, caffeine free tea, crystal light flavored water, etc. You may find that after all the good fluids, you really do not have a desire for the soda. You may have a headache for a couple of days if your soda is full of caffeine, as you withdraw from the caffeine.
I have a stash of different flavors of crystal light in my cupboard for variety. Take care. Hugs, Kathy

I was a huge pepsi fan before my RNY. I too just quit it, I missed it for about 3 days, then adjusted well to being without it. Just hang in there while you withdraw from the caffiene and in a few days you'll be over it and off the soda.
You may try to initially cut your soda intakle in half for a couple of days, then in half again for a couple of days, then give er up all together, if cold turkey is just too much for you.

I had a bad soda habit too, first I weaned myself off diet dr pepper to a clear diet soda, caffine free of course. Now I may drink one of the clear sodas maybe once a week, I drink flavored water instead.
And I am getting my caffine from my coffee.
It was easy for me, and dont know why, I was a 6 pack a day drinker.
Good Luck!
