Is anyone craving FIZZ ? What did you do to cure the crave?

I had a serious diet pepsi problem. I weaned myself a can at a time pre surgery...I haven't found a substitute. Just drink diet v8 and vitamin water

I quit cold turkey.....I do still crave the fizz but I dare not touch it. I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm trying to really prepare myself mentally and physically. I drink lots of crystal light, sugar free freeze pops, and water.

Thankfully I wasn't a huge pop drinker, but ...

When I'm out and I get thirsty the coolers r filled with things I can't drink. I'm thirsty a lot. I try to keep a variety of drink enhancers to give me variety of tastes and flavors.

I miss pop more than any food out there. And I wasn't even a huge pop drinker!

I have a can of diet soda a day It is just one of those habits I couldn't kick!

I have a can occasionally. Every surgeon is different but mine says that soda will not stretch your pouch because the pouch has an opening at the bottom like a funnel but most surgeons will scare you with the thought of stretching because soda can lead us back to unhealthy eating habits such as junk and fast food.

I know people in my wls support group that let it go flat first but I figure what's the point?

Do the soda makes you dump? When was your surgery?

Its not a soda. Its one if those flavored carbonated water.I just want the fizz.It doesnt even have to be a soda

Your right.I dont want it when its flat.

I'm 5 months out and it doesent give me the dumping.

I'm afraid the carbonation would either make me sick and full of gas and/or would stretch my pouch. Not taking the chance.

During my monthly I would drink soda but when I'm normal soda makes me vomit big time. My body craves soda & salt & chocolate any other time I see soda & push it to the side

I have drunk the carbonated flavor water.Its zero calories and no caffeine. It didnt mess with me at all.
