Never thought I could give up a 50-year Diet Pepsi then Diet Coke addiction. I DO NOT even miss it. I swear your who body and thought process changes! I am glad to be off the chemicals. YOU can do it! 5 months and do not miss it one bit!

8:06am

HA, so don't drink it...

Drink it, kiss the can good bye and DONT look back. Look forward to be happy with your weight loss! It is so worth it!

Mine was Coke Zero. I drank two 32 oz fountain drinks a day in addition to what I drank at home. I was certainly addicted to it.

I haven't had any since 10/21/13 and have been fine. I even put a sip in my mouth the other day to keep my son's soda from running over....it tasted nasty!! Of course, I spit it out...no carbonation in this tummy! You will be fine. Best to you!

I also was drinking two two litter of diet coke a day then I went to cans and then to diet pepsi.

I don't have any right now and I want some. I took v8 to drink.

I too, was a Diet Coke-aholic...could not pass a drive thru without getting one...never drank coffee, so that was my "go to" beverage...I remember emailing my therapist that I just consumed my last diet coke in September 2012 and have not looked back... It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but not both my husband and I steer clear of carbonated beverages... he has benefited greatly from the change of lifestyle!

Good luck, you can DO THIS!

oh man did bad, I have had three mountain dew, did I messed up I said no pepsi or coke LOL. will try harder tomorrow. tomorrow I get to see my reg dr and the pharmacist and show him all the meds its not 41 counting the Vitamins. I cant take them all in one day,

also going to the nut office and ask if I can weigh in. and make a appt to see my nut even thou she said I didn't have to anymore bc she and the psych cleared me. but I feel better seeing them.

ok tlk later.

I know how hard this is. Have you gotten a date yet for your surgery? I didn't stop drinking Coke until I got the date for my surgery. Then I knew I had to stop, there was no way I could have the surgery and continue to drink Coke. It made a big difference in my mind, knowing my liver would not shrink if I didn't stop the Coke. So many times I would wake up in the morning and say, "Okay, today is the day to stop drinking Coke." By 10:00 I was at the drive thru getting a large Coke. Then being mad at myself all the rest of the day because I didn't stop. When they gave me my surgery date, that was it. And now, I have gone since January 11,2014 with not even a sip, and to tell you the truth, I don't really miss it. I drink alot of water. I hope this will help you, know you are not alone in this journey!!!

2:25pm just got home since 8:30am. and gave in and open a reg pepsi, gross but I needed something and my nephew had pepsi. lol bad girl. oh yea and had junk food, im very bad, but that's it, day is over not more soda or junk.

katiejo4, thanks

OK Nancy... CAN you go cold turkey? It's hard, but it's something that you must do. Sugar carbonated drinks are Bad Medicine!

8:12am I want a soda so bad, but having my shake,
