soup77 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Had my surgery Nov. 14th of last year and so far this has been the best decision I have ever made. I have lost 123 lbs so far but not without a few barriers. Congrats to everyone who has had the surgery and know better days are ahead. I am treating this just like a recovering drug addict, no bread, sweets, or sodas. Good luck to all going through this journey! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too have completely cut out soda... its been 3 months since I have even had a sip!! Hard but not as hard as I'd expected. Congrats to you on your awesome success!!

soup77 0 Posted May 8, 2012 Sodas weren't that hard and I worked for a soda company for 13 years. My problem is that the surgery made Water taste like metal and I had to find a solution. Luckily i found zero calerie mixed berry Powerade, and it has been my drink of choice since surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 8, 2012 Welcome, Soup77! Love that name!! I've also found that I like certain flavor additives in my Water. Mio drops (the non-caffeinated ones) are my flavoring of choice. Easy to carry and yummy. You're doing fantastic on your weight loss! Great job! Keep rocking that sleeve!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
