whoops! I messed up my poll...

I never drank diet... but I do miss soda

Not one single bit. I rarely drank soda, and EEEeeeewwwww.. Diet soda? Yuck it tastes horrible. Don't miss soda one tiny little bit..... Now, beer? Watching slushy ice slide down the side of an ice cold beer bottle is sheer torture for me.

Diet?

I don't drink diet. I do miss Pepsi from time to time. Even like Grape or Orange...

I drink Mt. Dew now.

i was a DIET ANYTHING finatic.. i quit when i started my pre op diet- along with quitting smoking- it was a habit for me just like smoking was- i miss going to the grocery store and picking up a diet coke for the ride home, or on the way to work, from work, at work...but i FEEL better- i have gotten rid of so much JUNK in my diet:smoking, alcohol, junk food, diet soda- and i feel good- ive lose 25lbs since I started my preop a month ago (was just banded on 2/27)- Even after the 6 months i dont plan on drinking diet soda any more- its NO GOOD FOR YOU!

I still drink it if I feel like it... diet or not. The fizz makes it tough to drink, so I usually shake up the bottle, drain out the carbonation, and repeat a couple times to make it nice and flat. Yum. :drool:

I was a die hard DIET COKE addict. From time to time... usually under lots of stress - I will miss it. Now I drink coffee and water

I thought for sure I was going to miss diet soda just as I thought I would miss regular soda when I stopped drinking it almost 5 years ago. I don't miss it at all. I drink tea, coffee, water and 0 calorie flavored waters...

I thought I would miss it, but I never have and it's been something like three years since I stopped drinking it. I was down to caffeine free diet coke anyway, which is basically just mellowed battery acid.

I thought I too would miss it, but thankfully it has not been given a second thought. I had a sip of regular coke the other day and almost puked it was so gross tasting to me.....LOL

I cam thankful for that I love Water now it is what I drink, and of course skim milk.

i know after i have surgery i have to give up diet pepsi and that will be the most difficult thing for me. i once tried giving it up during Lent and lasted 3 days. i'm addicted to the bubbles. i WILL give it up but not until after my surgery!!

I gave it up after the seminar, and I was a stop on the way to work for a 32 ounce pop, and drank all day long. I did fine, until about a month later I had a HUGE craving for one, but worked through it.

Then I decided to cut out caffiene, and had a huge headache one day when me and DH were out to lunch. So I got a 4 oz kiddie diet coke. At the first swallow it almost made me giddy like alcohol, but then I couldn't believe how horrible it tasted to me. This from a confirmed addict! So I'm ok with it now.

The caffeine thing though. Sheesh! I make a pitcher of tea everyday, and am down to 2 caffinated tea bags, along with 4 decaf, so surely there can't be too much caffiene in there. (here's hoping!)

I get banded april 15.

your telling me i will have to give up diet soda....

I probably drink 1 or 2 two liters each day.... what will i do...

holy molie:confused2:

I gave up diet pop when I started my 6 month supervised diet.

I do not miss it at all!

I was down to caffeine free diet coke anyway, which is basically just mellowed battery acid.

Exactly!

I never went a single day of my adult life without a caffeine-free diet soft drink or five. I gave them up the day of my consult, because I was convinced it would be too hard and I'd forget about the surgery. Surprisingly, I didn't suffer at all.

I tried just a sip around Christmas, and it was awful! Can't believe I drank that crap daily. I'm not even tempted to try it again. ICK...

A few months ago I was drinking 1 or 2 2-liters a day of Mt. Dew. When I started thinking about the Lap-Band, I just stopped. I already loved Crystal Light so it wasn't a big deal to switch to drinking only that. I have a Vault once in awhile, but I won't mind giving it up once I have the surgery.
