How long has it been since you have had a soda?

How long has it been for you? And do you still get really tempted? And if you still drink it how often do you drink it and does it affect your pouches?

Hi, my name is Rachael and I used to be a popaholic. I have been "soda free" for 6 months now. lol

What got me thinking was, I just went to the breakroom to refill my water bottle when I noticed they are getting ready to serve us rootbeer floats for someones birthday and I really really REALLY want one!! I might just have the ice cream but I dunno. Or I will try not to have any since I have already been naughty with eating today.

I've never been into soda myself.  I've always been a water person.  But, I can relate to the temptations at work.  All leftovers from meetings end up in our administrative area.  There are several meetings I am at where there is food.  I lost a few fights over the holidays when I was doing my required weight loss from my insurance, but overall I continued to loose weight.  It's hard to resist but I just don't go through the adminstrative area if I can help it when they put food out.  I hope you're able to be strong and resist. 

Good luck.

I tried one about three months ago.  I used to be incredibly addicted to Diet Mt. Dew.  So one day I decided to have one, and ouch, ouch, ouch.  Burping made it hurt less, but not enough.  It didn't taste as good as I remembered, either.  So I've developed an addiction to Yumberry Pomegranate Lifewater instead.

YOU DO NOT WANT TO EAT ICE CREAM AT WORK!       

unfortunately i am able to eat ice cream =( If i couldn't I think it would be easier to resist lol. I have found nothing so far that makes me have to get sick. Although french fries and chicken nuggets get stuck, those are the only two things....so far. Knock on wood

Man!  Ice cream gives me the worst gas in the world!!  Talk about peeling paint...   

I only eat it when I know I'm going to be home for the rest of the day.

lmao thats funny. Eggs do that to me lol

Please don't eat french fries and chicken nuggets. You have worked hard to get your surgery... I have not had mine yet, but I would hope that I would have people wanting me to be sucessful in my journey by not eating high fat and fast food and soda...
Wish you the best

Fat isn't actually bad - UNLESS you eat it with a lot of carbs. Sometimes, fast food is the only option, and when it is, chicken nuggest aren't that bad a choice compared to many other things (especially if you've got a Chick-fil-A nearby).

I wouldn't have but I didn't have a choice lol. It was the only thing available at the time. It happens. I treat myself on the occasion I don't completely deprive myself =)
