I had my visit with my surgeon today! I'm down 5 pounds from my visit with the nurse coordinator last week! It's been day # 2 without any Diet Coke too! I had been cutting back since my WLS seminar on7/9/13. I used to drink a 2 liter a day! I was driving home from the visit thinking hmmm a diet coke sounds so yummy! I knew I had to just forget about it but it was extremely hard. I figure if I can't make myself have will power now and change my mental state then I shouldn't have the surgery! Hopefully the next couple of months I CAN make the lifestyle changes so I WILL be succesfull!

Woo hoo great job. I was a huge dr pepper addict before. Those first couple of weeks are the hardest.

one 2-liter a day? HA!

i was up to 2 2-liters a day then i quit.

I have to say. after 18 years of nothing but diet coke.. that was the hardest thing to kick so far.

I am 3.5 months clean and some bad days, its hard to not want one.

but im eating better because some bad things i used to eat dont sit well with Water so i dont eat them. I dont like feeling nauseaus.

I used to also drink 2 liter of regular Pepsi a day. It was a very bad habit but now I'm in control & do it occasionally (half a can)but I want to not drink it at all not even when I'm on TOM.

I was a diet pepsi addict .... I drank about 6-7 cans a day and that was the only thing I drank, no coffee, no tea just DP!! After surgery I did not crave it only once in a while. About 6 months post op I took a sip and OMG it tasted like drinking chemicals = yuck !!! After a while you will get use to not drinking so much, at least I did. I have a diet soda every once in a while, maybe about a 1/2 can.

I love diet pepsi too. Or i used to- i got off it in march. It doesnt taste the same.

That's all great to hear. That's my fear....not getting my diet Pepsi. It's my addiction so it's good to hear it may not be that bad.

5 days til surg!
