Sodas

Hello Fellow WLS Candidates and Alumni -

This is my first post on BP. I am beginning my Pre-Op preparations for my surgery, which is scheduled for the end of March 2016. I am having a terrible time giving up diet sodas. That's my vice in the morning. It's something about feeling the tingling sensation of carbonation on my tongue that I crave. I'm attempting to start off with 1 diet coke in the morning, then drinking iced tea for the rest of the day. Let's just say, I haven't been very successful.

Any suggestions on how to beat this? Is it possible that I won't crave carbonated drinks after my surgery?

Thanks!

    I saw some recipes for Shakes on here from years ago that has soda in them, they just said open the root beer and let it go flat then use. What do you guys think?

    I've been off soda since Sunday. It's been stressful this week with a sick kiddo, so I thought I would have a soda yesterday. I took two sips and decided it was just too sweet for me and quit. I was proud of me.

    I don't know why it tasted so sickly sweet. My husband says it tasted right to him. Do the Vitamins have this side effect? Either way, I'll take it.
