JustDoIt130 369 Posted January 10, 2012 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! 1 Caribear reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bunz1969 4 Posted January 10, 2012 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!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

54Shirley 105 Posted January 10, 2012 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.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greekie17 22 Posted January 13, 2012 Good for you! I am still pre-op, but in my recent nutrition class they said to avoid all carbonated drinks post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
honk 780 Posted January 13, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
