The ONLY thing I miss after VSG...
This is gonna sound incredibly dumb, but the only thing I miss is my beloved diet coke. I was a MAJOR diet coke addict pre-surgery. I know I'm better off without it, but I do miss it. It was my only vice. I have tried a sip or two of my husband's & it just doesn't taste the same at all. I miss the feeling it gave me, the taste of it!! I'm tired of drinking unsweetened tea & water!!! Wahhhh!!!!!
I hear ya!! I quit drinking DC last Sept.....That was my morning caffeine since I dont drink coffee. I miss the fizziness and the way it made me feel. It just woke me up every morning!! I tried to drink the diet minute maid lemonade, thinking it wasnt carbonated so it would be ok. But I think it was the acid in it that upset my tummy. Guess I'll just stick with the protein shake and crystal light! Actually my new love it Diet V8 Splash tropical flavor. Its got a light fruity flavor and only 10 calories in 8 oz. I dont like regular V8, but the Splash is a mix of 5 juices and its really good. Its at Walmart for only $1.98 for 64 oz. You should try it!

Not dumb at all! I have 4 12 packs of lime diet coke and 3 12 packs of caffeine free diet coke in the basement. Not to mention a rack full of both in the fridge. I miss it soooo much. And driving thru drive-ins to get a cool one sucks too. And now my local Micky D's stopped selling the lite lemonade so now there's nothing bu****er. Only consolation is when the warm weather hits (if it ever does in New England) I can start up my addiction to iced coffee......
OK I am going to post this knowing that I may be reprimanded but here goes.... I love Coke Zero. At my 6 week check up with surgeon I told him that I had let a bottle sit open for 2 days and then drank it flat. He said that was fine as long as it was in moderation because of caffeine. Now about twice a week I will have a glass. I get the 20oz bottle and it lasts the whole week. It has been hot here (80's) and after being outside I just need that sense of refreshment. Ok, I can take your responses now. But wait while I get my Coke Zero!
I am not big boned! Bones don't jiggle! 
i used to loooove diet coke and drank it every day, then i started getting nauseated every time i ate and having weird foggy feeling headaches like i was hungover...... then i did some research on the the fake sugars they use to sweeten and found some articles on people's reactions to it, brain tumors and things. needless to say i was freaked out and i stopped drinking it.
when i stopped drinking it and stopped using fake sugars, my nausea and foggy feelings went away completely. i actually only get nauseated feeling when i have something with those chemicals in it now. i don't know why, i suppose my body just knows its not right
stevia does not bother me though, that i can tell so far. the sugar in gum does, however, not sure if its the sugar or something else in gum but if i have more than half a piece i will feel sick, been this way for a couple years now.
