Congrats on cutting your diet coke consumption done. That's not easy to do. Thanks for the advice and good luck with the surgery

I have an appointment set for July 15 with my surgeon's PA. I should recieve my surgical date at that time. I'm going to Dr Barba here in CT. Hopefully I'll recieve a surgical date for the end of or better yet early part of August. My biggest concern and the one I'm struggling with the most is that I drink all the time. I consume on average 4L a day. And I never eat without drinking and can easily drink a quart of skim milk with my meal. How do I stop that once I'm banded. Surgery doesn't bother me, pain I can live with, reduced meals???.. well okay but no drinking!!!!! Oh boy. Just the thought of it turns my mouth to cotton. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
