What to do? sugar free or sugar? The dr recommends Powerade zero, crystal light, sugar free Syrup but then I hear its poison. Others say its better than having real sugar. So is Splenda that toxic or just an exaggeration? (I don't like the taste of Splenda anymore since sleeve but I'm curious).

My doc said coffee 2 weeks after surgery and pop 6 mo. after. It is real hard to

Imagine ever going back to either, though. For the first time in my life I have no vices! I am also sleeping better than ever without caffeine.

On a lighter note, Sobe came out with an Acai Rasberry Lifewater! Soooo good! :)

I was a serious diet pepsi addict before surgery. I drank 6-10 cans a day. I have not touched soda 5 months this coming sunday. My favorite drink is Mio orange/tangerine. Mmm mmm

I'll chime in here. My NUT from years ago showed me research stating that the artificial sweeteners in diet soda (aspartame & sucralose to name a couple) create a much higher insulin spike than the regular sugar in regular soda. This causes our bodies to store more fat and can seriously hinder weight loss. Not to mention, it's going to mess with diabetics.

Just because something has 0 calories doesn't mean it's healthy.

I'm not a soda drinker but I stay away from anything "diet". I'm insulin resistant so I won't go near the stuff.

I don't mean to get preachy. You do what works for you. I just thought this would be good info to share.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
