You're in good company. I wasn't trying to restrict calories when I ordered, I just liked the taste of diet coke! :lol:

Oh not me! When I go, I go for the gold!!! Big fat cheeseburger meal, large sized with a full sugar 32oz coke!!! Oh wow, can't even describe how much I don't miss that old life! Lol

Now you couldn't pay me to take a bite of that crap. I'm too afraid I'd want it all over again ;)

WHAT??? You mean that the acid in the Diet Coke doesn't burn off the calories from the dripping, double cheeseburger? That could explain the extra 80 lbs I was carting around, huh?

Years ago my favorite treat was a king size Snickers bar and a Diet Coke. This was after the extra large burger and fries. I have not had surgery yet, but I don't eat like that anymore. I gained all this weight eating much healthier. LOL

I was raised drinking Diet Coke, so truthfully, I was always that person, too ;) lol. The funny thing? I don't miss the crap food, but I'm sure I'll miss the Diet Coke!

maybe you won't, goirish, but I am not gonna lie to you...of all the things I miss, my beloved Diet Coke ranks way near the top...I know it wasn't healthy for me anyway, but sometimes there was nothing that would make me feel better than an ice-cold Diet Coke, preferably from the fountain and not out of a can or bottle (love my ice with it).

omg how I would love to eat that cheeseburger. I don't even care about the diet coke. Too bad I'd only be able to take 3 bites. I've come to the realization that it isn't worth my money to order food in a restaurant. I have tried and tried but simply cannot eat even half of whats on my plate.

Haha that was me too! I thought I missed diet coke too but after I drank some a while back I realized it does not taste good nor feel good in my new stomach.

agreed, sharon...but I just take the leftovers home and make another 1 and most times 2 meals out of it...I was never one to want to take leftovers home from a restaurant, even when I couldn't eat it all...but I have learned now that it is worth it

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
