vanilla Coke Zero was my drug of choice and I still crave it! I tapered off slowly about 6 weeks before my surgery bc I knew I'd have a hard time.

My mom still drinks it all the time and my mouth waters when I see it!! LOL

It'll all be worth it in the end!!

Yep I used to go to McDonalds for a large diet coke all of the time. I swear they put something in it to make it better than anywhere else!

For sure! I always say there is something in there that makes you crave it lol.

I gave up carbonated soda and caffeine at the beginning of my six month preop supervised diet. I am so glad I listen to my NUT and did that, I am now one month and two days post op. I have no desire for soda or caffeine.

My whole family drinks decafe ice tea and the kids rarely have soda. I never forbid them but they just sort of drink what is available. My husband stop soda too so that meant less soda in the house unless the children requested it. So they became more accustom to low sugar juice, v8 splash, Decaf tea, SF kool aid and crystal light. Now there sits under my sink several sodas that where left over from a training class we organized in November. The kids know it is there but their taste buds and habbitts have changed for the better.

BTW I enjoy decafe coffee as well. My NUT said decafe was only neccasary before, during and for a short time after surgery but never any carbonation again. I say we have gotten so use to decaf why change back!

I didn't crave it until just last week. I was doing fine and then my mother (thanks mother) bought a CASE of it while she was at my house for a few days.

Needless to say, there are quite a few left. Sitting on my kitchen floor...taunting me. LOL

I keep forgetting to take them to work!

No cokes in 3.5 months now. I still think about them all the time though. I miss cokes but I wonder how I got to the point of thinking drinking sugar Water was okay. It's not like I'm a bug or something. They taste so good though.

I have a dear friend who was diagnosed with melanoma stage 4. We all use to tease him because he always and I mean always had a diet coke near by. I read diet coke increases the chance of this cancer 425%. I don't trust all statistics blindly but it sure makes me think when I saw my poor friend suffering so.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
