soda... maybe a solution for some



Recommended Posts

OK.... I was an avid Diet Coke drinker.... 6-8 a day at my peak of 345 (ironic huh!). Now I am post op 4 months, and down from 283 when i started pre op... now I am 241. I drink diet Snapple, coffee and Water with no issue. Every oncce and awhile I want someting in a can... I have found something that works great

Diet Mountain Dew

it already has little carbonation.... goes flat in about 10 mins of being opened and even when flat, tastes pretty decent.

Now, I am not drinking 10 a day... more like 1 or 2 aq week, but it is nice to have a soda once and awhile.

Just wanted to share... good luck to all!

Sounds like a way to go.

I too used to drink diet coke when I was 320 lbs

high volume diet soda drinker - diet pepsi favorite

second day of 10 day pre-op now - op is 3/31/09

Arizona diet green tea seems good - zero everything except 10 grams sodium per 8 oz. Available in cans, bottles, and gallon jugs.

I love Crystal Light peach tea but my wife thinks aspartame is responsible for all illnesses, physical and mental, known to man.

Will probably use Arizona post-op.

saw "soda...maybe a solution for some" and thought I'd pop in, eventhough this is the mens room....I'm searching for a solution myself.

I go thru a 2 liter a day or almost...I just can't stop- especially now it's getting warmer outside. I'm sure it's mental but if I wasn't drinking the sodapop I'd drop weight really fast.

Okay, I'll leave the mens room now and try your suggestion. Diet Dew.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
