Since I went to the surgeon, I have tried my hardest to stop drinking soda. I haven't had once since March 15. Yesterday we went out to eat and I ordered water. The waiter brought me a Pepsi. Ice cold Pepsi!!! He walked away before I could say I didn't order it! But he came back in just a minute and said Oh I'm sorry, you ordered water, I'll get that right to you. But he LEFT THE PEPSI ON THE TABLE!!! I just pushed it to the other side of the table and DIDN'T DRINK IT!! Even when I was "dieting", I would have at least taken a drink of it! That made me realize I believe I am on the right path this time!!!!

Congrats Crkrjax.... Pepsie is the devil! Great job on passing that up.

I know how you feel. I was a pepsi junkie! Last time my hubby took me out we ask the server not to bribg the fresh bread that came with our meal ( I love it) she did anyway... I wanted it so bad. But I didn't give in. I covered it wuth a napkin and ask her to remove it tge next time she came by and she argued with me! She had the nerve to get snotty and tell me that it comes with all dinners and they have to serve it. The waitress from the next table came by smiled and removed it tge minute she walked away.

I think it is so rude of wait staff to insist you take something I had one argue with me that I should have a drink so know if I go out to eat I just order a water and leave it on the table have not touched soda since June 2nd 2012 which was 2 1/2 months before surgery I can't say I don't want one once in awhile but I resist the temptation and will not give in nothing taste as good as skinny does keep up the great work and even better then being skinny is being healthy no more meds.

My husband laughs at me everytime we go out to eat... I always order a water and never touch it. I tell him it makes me feel "normal"

Oh and I haven't had any type of soda since feb 2012. It's the dieters crack.... Don't do it!!!!!

We were at a Mexican place, so he barely spoke english, so I wasn't going to try to argue with him. LOL

Oh yes, diet pepsi is my devil! And diet mountain dew! I gave it up in march 2013, didnt drink it for 3 months, but recently i have had it when i go out... But it makes me flushed and sweat, and doesnt taste as good as it used to. So i think i can resist. Still preop, waiting on insurance and a date.
