princess_n_thep 2 Posted July 8, 2006 I gave up pop just 2 weeks before surgery (just to see how I would do) and I haven't had even a sip since! And I was a HUGE pepsi-holic! I substitute the soda pop with juice, flavored water, tea, lemonade. I feel sooooooo much better with none of that gunk inside me. Hmmmmm, now if I can only quit smoking....... :scared: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenA 0 Posted July 10, 2006 My doctor said, diet soda is a NO NO NO NO... It will stretch the small new tummy. I'm a diet soda freak, so I've tried to switch to other things, but find I fall back once in a while. It's been almost a year now, and I find I don't crave it like a use to. ALso, it does not taste as good as I remember when I do have it. Karen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
