I've Been A Bad Boy...



Recommended Posts

Ok I've learned this trick..and its bad and I need to stop doing it.

If you take a 20oz bottle of soda....shake it real hard...and gently release the pressure out...about 4-5 times..it makes the soda completely flat of carbonation and goes in with no bloating. I've been doing this a time a two with the new Pepsi Max....someone tell me stop haha. Mind you I never had any issues after surgery..not even pain from surgery or food. Weight loss has been above average so far and I guess I'm treating myself with a flat soda here in there...but someone should slap my hand here..

When I was on liquids I was told I could have flat soda if it has no sugar or caffiene you may not be as bad as you believe! If you just have it as a treat maybe your are not as bad as you believe! HaHa

I actually do the Pepsi Max (no sugar) and have since 4 months out. No issues and no calories. You might want to rethink the Pepsi Next - not as much for the carbonation and caffeine, but the sugar. But, each person needs to decide their "crack" ... Mine is a small glass of wine several nights a week. YUM!!!!

I will never never ever have another soda. It is such a trigger food for me. I have just learned to deal with life without it. I've been caffeine free for 4 months and feel wonderful. Everyone says even diet soda is bad for you, so I gave it up.

Here's my advice: give it up completely. It's all chemicals and not good for your body period. Carbonated or not. And this is coming from a 4 bottle a day diet coke addict.

My skin, hair, nails, and teeth are so much better since I stopped drinking that stuff. I'm sure Vitamins helped but I believe getting those chemicals out of my body has helped as well.

I didn't have a soda addiction or problem pre-op, so I occasionally have a soda post-op - not even flat or anything. It's rare, so I don't worry about it. My dietician was OK with it, we discussed it at my 8 month appt on Thursday. However, if you were a soda junkie pre-op, I'd stay far, far away . . . I stay far away from certain things. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
