Craving Strawberry Soda



Recommended Posts

Now i know soda is completely off limits, but oh how I've missed it! My addiction to this soda is worse than coffee. Every night on my way home from work, I'd stop by McDonalds grab a large strawberry soda for $1 and set it by my nightstand and drink it throughout the night while i sleep. I know weird habit but its sooo refreshing when you havent had anything to drink in hours. Trying to figure out how to get over it but I feel like Kel from Kenan and Kel "Who loves strawberry soda.. I do I do I do-ooo" lol.. Plus my liquids dont really quench my thirst because I can't gulp like i use to.. sipping barely takes the edge off.. welcome to the sleeved life!

You could try a strawberry Protein Drink maybe to help with the strawberry taste craving or I think there is a strawberry-kiwi crystal light. It won't help with missing the bubbly, but could help with the cravings to get a similar flavor.

Soda is the one and only thing that I really do miss. I was a big diet Dr. Pepper drinker. Really miss it, even more than beers.. :D

I'm a coke addict...... Surgery didn't fix my brain ! :( but I can't drink any coke cause its way too sweet and carbonated to the point of pain. I wish I could drink some, but then again, it's part of what got me as heavy as I was. It's soooo hard to stop carbonated drinks! I swear, in 20!years, we'll figure out they were secretly filled with some sort of mind altering drug!

      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.
