Flat diet soda tastes the same without the fizz if you really need a fix!

Careful with the slurpees. I used to drink all the time. Most of them have cafein and they are loaded with sugar and calories. There is usually a sugar free option at each 711 but they are usually a little sour. Some are crystal light brands and are totally ok to drink. I am vey sad that I know so much about slurpees but glad I don't drink them anymore. Matter of fact' date=' one slurpees has more calories then I now eat for the day. Ugh.[/quote']

Wow hely didn't think they were that bad. I don't have them but my kids do from time to time, I honestly thought they were mainly ice with flavoring.

I look at it as if my brother a recovering alcoholic can give up beer for the rest of his life I can give up diet soda.

I thought it would be hard for me to give up soda, but I have been doing good. I had a SIP of sprite a few days after surgery to help get the gas out and it helped a lot. I have replaced my soda cravings with Vitamin Water ( love the Fiji apple) and sugar free kool aide. Oh yeah and Mio. I know its hard but just think of the good it will do letting it go. Stay strong and don't give up.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
