I don't want to open those floodgates. When it comes to soda, I am like an alcoholic. I can't even have one.

I did try drinking soda once since surgery. I burped it right back up. it was a definate no go for me. I have never been a soda addict, just needed something to drink and that was the only thing available. learned my lesson, dont want it again. :)

Well i do drink soda ( mainly diet). I cant drink it with food because when I burp the food comes with it.. Ill sip one .. usually cant finish it like I used too.. Still have lots a restriction.. and losing well. I dont get addicited to things though so if its a gateway "drug" then I would not suggest it..

I'm a soda addict and I crave it like once a week. So what I will do is go buy one and take a sip...and guess what? I don't want a second sip! After not drinking it for a month and then trying it again it burns my tongue so bad! But even knowing this now I still crave it! So I just have to get a soda and remind myself every now and again that I don't like it anymore.

Yep, I'm the same way. I have one Pepsi and the floodgates open. It also makes me crave red meat which I otherwise rarely eat. So strange. Our heads play so many games with us!

I had sparkling Water and it hurt my stomach. I wonder if you had some ice cold lemon-lime splenda kool-aide, if it would help? I think I might make me some now come to think of it. :)

There's a freezer pop brand called "Soda Pops." They make a 7-Up freezer pop. I have no idea how Sprite and 7-Up compare (not sure I'e ever had 7-Up, and have probably only had Sprite 2 or 3 times in my life) but they look similar. They're about 35 calories each IIRC. Not sugar free, but I'd take a little sugar over a diet soda any day of the week.

Our Walgreens sells them for about $1.90 a box, but you can also get them on Amazon.< /p>

I am 2 months out and I have a sip every once in a while. I would NEVER open a can or buy a bottle for myself - I would figure out a way to drink the whole thing! I will steal a sip from my partner and she scolds me but it is good. Most of the time it is a reminder that it doesnt taste nearly as good as it used to! I have read that it stretches your sleeve and I have also read that there is no medical research that supports the theory. I think in this new life I have to remember something - everything in moderation. We all have to live right?!!!!!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
