I missed it FOREVER!

I was a HUGE Mt Dew drinker. I could drink 3-4 20 Ozs at work' date=' and a few cans before work. It was the hardest thing to give up. I have never had a sip because I feel that's my gateway drug![/quote']

Same here!!!!

Dt. Mt Dew was my "crack". I actually am ashamed to say that it was always on my mind.

Ugh- don't miss that addiction

It's mostly the carbonation not the caffeine. Caffeine in small portions won't hurt.

I have about the equivalent of 1 grande worth of coffee every day. Would you say this is too much? I like my coffee in more than one way: feel good, waking up, energy, etc. I don't think I would give it up unless the government one day stated that it was not good for your health in the same manner that smoking is not good for your health.

I am honestly not sure, what is a good amount. The caffeine limits is because it can cause an ulcer and our stomachs are so much smaller so an ulcer is much more serious. I would ask your NUT what is an acceptable amount. I myself am guilty of a 5 hour energy shot once In awhile. I can't stand the taste of coffee but like the caffeine kick as well.

Oh' date=' I definitely don't keep it in the house. If I do have one, I buy a single can or bottle at the convenience store.

And I proudly walk past the hostess fruit pies, without purchasing them, that used to always accompany my morning soda! Now those are "gateway drugs" for me. I do think I could eat a whole hostess cherry pie![/quote']

I hate to break it to you but no more hostess pies or hostess anything they have gone out of business. Maybe not a bad thing for our diets but I hate so many being out of work because of such a huge company going out of business.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
