Yay Me! I Kicked Soda Cold Turkey!

[JustDoIt130 369]

And I drank a LOT of diet soda! I'm talking, I'd buy a 2 liter and just stick a straw in it!!! We didn't have any soda in the house on Sunday, so without really thinking about it I didn't drink any and I had a HORRIBLE headache- so then I figured I might as well just keep going, so no soda yesterday and none so far today- my headache is back and I'm super crabby, but I'm done!!!

Phew!

Way to go!!! Kicking the soda habits is one of the best things you can do for yourself!

Awesome! Good for you! It's amazing how much better you will feel not drinking them. My band doesn't like them so much. Me? I miss my Diet Coke like crazy!!

Awesome! Way to go! I am trying to go cold turkey too!

That's one of the best things to kick ! It also causes a Beer Belly affect on some people, if they drink enough of it.

It did for me....

Good for you! Keep going Soda is really not good for you, whether it be reg. or diet. Try Water with fresh fruit

When I told friends and family I was going to be banded the first thing everyone of them said was " you knw you're going to have stop drinking soda" lol. Great job!!! Oh I really like the MIO drops you add to Water o cals. They are in tea area of store

Good for you! I am still pre-op, but in my recent nutrition class they said to avoid all carbonated drinks post-op.

While I enjoyed diet soda I did not drink it as much as some people. I did however have it up until the day before surgery. I have'nt really missed it but did have a funny thing happen at Walmart one day. It was later in the evening and the store was practically empty. While I was paying at the register someone came up behind me and opened the soda fridge. The sound of that door opening gave me this huge urge to drink a soda (or tonic as my mother would say). So random!
