Soda

I WANT ONE SO BAD THAT I COULD SCREAM!! I WANT A COLD DIET PEPSI NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OK, back to my new life........... I feel better I let that out Kay

Hey that's what we are here for!!! ::hugs:: Cyndi

look up what the Phosphoric Acid in soda does and you will never miss it again...trust me!! It is so bad for you. If you pour a can of pepsi over a t-bone steak, by morning the Phosphoric Acid will have eaten the entire steak. Little scary to me. Dawn

oh Kay, I used to drink about 4 Mt. Dews a day. I saw someone with one today and I think my mouth started watering....lol. I got my water and moved on too. But, that is the one thing that I crave so badly. I think I can go without everything else forever, but the Mt. Dew........... Have a great night, I'm drinking Yellow Crystal Light Lemonade right now, not the same as my Yellow Mt. Dew, but good enough. Lisa

I think about an iced cold diet coke at least once a day!!!!

I have been tempted to open a caff free diet coke and letting it go flat and then enjoying completely. I am going to ask my doctor next week.

Hmmm, I just remembered I seen on the main board that people have done that. I wonder if its ok. I just want a little. Thanks Kay

I want a caffine free surgar free dr. pepper. My absolute favorite. And I am going to have one. In 3 weeks. Doc says after 8 weeks soda is OK as tolerated. I gave up the caffine over a year ago so that's not the issue but boy do I miss the bubbles.

Ok, I admit it. I drink diet coke. *ducks any incoming rebuffs* We are allowed carbonation after 2 weeks. So at the two week mark I had a sip of diet coke. Wasn't as good as I remember it to be, but was still a nice change. Now I have a couple of sips of diet coke before lunch as a special treat. I am not worried because all I usually manage is 5 or 6 sips. It makes me burp like crazy though! Beth

Tell me about it Kay!!! I was a HUGE soda drinker (6+ can a day habbit at least)... If a WLS fairy came down and granted me one food that I could eat with no ill effects, I would choose not food, but soda. I would LOVE to GULP one down. But, alas, we all know that won't happen. My surgeon forbids it for life, and I happen to agree with him. I did my own weight loss and soda experiment when I was a pre-op and it really did make a huge difference... even diet soda slowed my weight loss significantly. You drink propel? The Black Cherry flavor sometimes reminds me of dr. pepper a tiny bit. Maybe try that.
