You can do it Nancy! If I can, I know you can. Diet Pepsi is crack! That and Pelligrino Water. OMG!

It's been a year now and I am living proof it can be done. Have to say in the last year I have learned how awful diet soda is.

Great luck to you!

You got this!

Nancy, I was a very bad Coke/Pepsi Drinker. I could not go without a trip to McDonalds at least twice a day for my Large Coke and then at night drink Pepsi. I stopped cold turkey on January 11,2014. I started my preop diet that next day. I had my Sleeve done on January 21,2014. I didn't think I could do it. Giving up my Coke/Pepsi habit was the hardest thing I had to do. But you know what happened? After I took that last drink of Pepsi, and kissed my old friend goodbye, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I haven't missed it. I am so happy with my weight loss that I don't even think about it. I guess what I miss more is drinking with a straw!! That has taken more to get used to than drinking the Soda. Good Luck on your journey, trust me you wont miss it once you don't have it.

Man, I hear ya on the Diet Pepsi addiction! I used to be able to go through a 2 liter bottle in 24 hours. Gross. When I quit, I transitioned to seltzer, and then Water and Crystal light pre-op. Diet Pepsi makes you hungrier. It made me crave salty/crunchy junk food. I am glad I am free of it! One less vice to deal with!

I switched to caffine free diet coke and pepsi for awhile. It just stopped being enjoyable without the buzz. It made it much easier to quit for me.

This is my biggest addiction. I don't have my date yet so I haven't quit my diet coke yet but I definitely need to. I'm so addicted.

At dinner tonight at home I realized I was pulling out my last Diet Pepsi out of the fridge. That's it, my costco stockpile I bought several months ago is finally gone. I am not exactly kicking my "Coke" habit just yet but it is finally out of my home. I do not drink coffee so giving up caffeine will be tough once I finally give it up since it my only vice. Good luck to you, it will suck at first but bubble are overrated, keep them for the bubble bath.

GIRL! This was seriously my biggest fear. I was a COKE-A-HOLIC!!! I had my last one on Thanksgiving day (2013). It was a couple of weeks prior to my pre-op diet. Seriously with the surgery to look forward to and to occupy my brain, I never missed a beat. I knew it was what I had to do and I did it. Never did I think it would be that easy. You can do it!

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
