Im due to have gastric bypass 25th September anyone else?

I was told not to by my nutritionist. I have not had caffeine or any carbonation in 9 weeks. After about 4-5 weeks I was craving a diet dr pepper soooo bad. Saturday I was really thirsty and my mom had a coke zero which i used to love. I tried one sip. It burned my tongue and tasted like dirt. So i think i am ok not drinking them anymore

Sorry for the multiple post. Crazy phone.

I made it to Onederland !! I have not started exercising, I know that is the next motivational hurdle I need to conquer. I'm down 27lbs

Carbonation is a no no because it can move the band.

I got my first fill yesterday I was nervous to eat anything at first so I had cottage cheese and everything went well. For dinner had chicken, peas and 2 bites of mashed potatoes.

Keep up the losing journey!!!

Hi group. Well got second fill to 5.5. Tight feeling so that's good. Down 58 pounds since sept. slowed last three weeks which is expected. Still logging on my fitness pal so add me! Lol. Just adding an update. Take care all.

Wow! 58 pounds is great! I am only down 23 since the end of Sept. and seem to be stuck already. Maybe it's time for another fill here too!

Wow 58 pounds? That's awesome. Im jealous. Lol. I have lost 38 pounds. I was supposed to go yesterday and get a fill and my nurse got sick. I had to reschedule til Monday:(

I miss the burn of an ice cold Coke. I was also missing the flavors of my favorite ice cream sodas. I often have my favorite diet soda, flat, mixed with a vanilla protein shake. No way I can drink flat soda and I don't like plain vanilla protein shakes. Together they rock! I always have several open diet sodas in my fridge. I keep them open to make sure the carbonation is totally gone when i'm ready to use it.

That sounds good. I think I miss the crispness of the drink the most. I am a little over 2 mo out and really dont think about them much anymore. I found a 15 cal minute maid lemonaid and a diet tea that taste better then real sweet tea and it has helped so much. Thank goodness.

Hi Katie

Was your last fill done in the last ten days? It can take up to 10 days to get the full impact of the fill. Hopefully your not getting sick. I find some times I eat a little bit too fast and not chew enough or the food is too dry, and that happens. If you think it's the fill you may need a small defill. Good luck hope this helps.

Just checking up on everyone! Hope everyone's T-giving was great and Christmas will be even better! How is everyone doing? I go for my second fill on Friday. Surgery was 9/27, first fill was 10/30. Had 2.5 cc put in at surgery, 1st fill was 1.5 cc. I am down 36 lbs. Fill me in on how everyone is doing!!!

Hey!

My surgery was Sept 26th, lost 30 lbs pre-op and I've lost 21 lbs since, so 51 lbs in total. Ive had two 0.5cc fills, one at 6 weeks and one today; I think I had 3cc's to start. Im not in the green zone yet, but hopefully after fill number 3! I drink a lot of wine and eat a lot of cheese...so I'm a bit behind LOL! Slow and steady
