I am seriously craving diet Coke!



Recommended Posts

I haven't had diet coke in 3 months or more, but for some odd reason I REALLY want some today. And not just a can of pop, oh no, my body wants a 32oz ice cold fountain diet coke! Yum yum. I guess I just treat this like any other craving and ignore it until it goes away. It just strikes me as odd because it is the first time I have wanted pop in a long time and it is such a strong craving. Way stronger than any other craving I have had since I started the pre op process.

I have had that intense craving about 3x since surgery and gave in. Bought a soda fountain diet coke. Couldn't take more than 3-5 sips. Stomach rejected it big time. It's been over a month now since last time I had diet coke, and I don't think I'll crave it ever again...

Today I wanted EVERYTHING. I'm on day 10 of pre-op liquids. I texted my best friend and told him I wanted a pizza, 4 Big Macs, a side of onion rings, a turtle cheesecake, and a bottle of wine to wash it all down with. UGH.

If you want something that tastes like Diet Coke get the soda stream fountain Syrup and mix with cold Water to taste. You can buy all the syrup flavors (Diet of course) at Wal-mart or Bed Bath & Beyond. You don't need to buy the actual fountain since all it does is make carbonated water which we can't have. So you will basically be drinking a flat soda. Guess you could do that with bottled diet soda and leave top off until all carbonation leaves the bottle? Not sure how long that would take. Good luck. I'm just sticking to water and crystal light packs myself been told most my life how bad soda was for me even the diet soda with artificial sweetener which I am still drinking with crystal light so I best stop typing before I contradict myself anymore. LOL. Good luck

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
