welcome ! congrats on the VSG choice. I am happy with mine!
i don't think it' unusual to get a cold or anything post op, you've been thru a lot with surgery. the body needs to adjust.
keep on the fluids!

i drink sobe life water zero, or power aide zero.
read labels one of them on the market may have the right sweetener for you.
I don't drink bubbles......can't deal with it.

as for the carbs, don't buy them. step back from them. do something else when you get the urge to eat them, replace the behavior.
good luck

If it's the carbonation you are looking for from the sodas why don't you try a carbonated water... like pelligrino with lemon or orange or those selzter waters from Target. you will have to see which ones have aspartame but there are a lot to choose from out there. as for carbs, I eat them but I stay away from breads and too much pasta and i really keep that under control. You can do it. You just got to remind yourself you never wanna go back to the way you use to be. :) good luck.

No one can stop you from eating or drinking the wrong things, it's something you have to do for yourself. That being said and since you can't handle sugar substitutes, try adding a little lemon, orange or mint to your water to change the taste.

Topic: Making bad choices! HELP

I am making A LOT of bad food choices and drinking SODA!! Ugh, I am kicking myself in my ass telling myself that I have to smarten up! But for some reason I keep going back to the carbs and soda! I do eat my protein first and I don't drink and eat at the same time. I do exercise (3x a week at the gym plus trying to get into jogging). I am throwing myself a pity party here lol! I am part of OA and I do have a councelor (sp). I am not in any mood when I eat the carbs/soda I just like them. SO What I would like to know from you, my friends on OH, is how can I stop eating the carbs and soda? I have offically cut the soda out (as of today). So what can I replace the soda with? I cannot do anything with aspertame (sp) because it gives me really bad headaches! I need something with flavor because I cannot drink water all the time! Thank you in advance for you help and advice!

What's worth the PRIZE is ALWAYS worth the FIGHT!

Topic: Update..

Been offline for a while, but miss being in the chat on mondays and talking to others. I have been working out really hard. After I got cleared on Aug 25th I got a trainer and now I have created a habit of going to the gym directly after work. I workout 5 days a week and weekends off. I am also working hard to get all protein and fluids in and have been doing well.

I am now nearly under 200 lbs :) it has been 8 1/2 weeks since my VSG and I love it. I have lost 55 lbs now and I weigh 209. Just gotta get those 10 lbs off before my 3 month check up at the surgeons office :) when I know that their scale will be heavier.

Hoping to be able to be on chat on Monday, but we will see. Also got me a fitbit online and I love it... keeps track of my steps everyday, and sleep and food, and activities and liquids love it.
