What to do? sugar free or sugar? The dr recommends Powerade zero, crystal light, sugar free Syrup but then I hear its poison. Others say its better than having real sugar. So is Splenda that toxic or just an exaggeration? (I don't like the taste of Splenda anymore since sleeve but I'm curious).

My doc said coffee 2 weeks after surgery and pop 6 mo. after. It is real hard to

Imagine ever going back to either, though. For the first time in my life I have no vices! I am also sleeping better than ever without caffeine.

On a lighter note, Sobe came out with an Acai Rasberry Lifewater! Soooo good! :)

I was a serious diet pepsi addict before surgery. I drank 6-10 cans a day. I have not touched soda 5 months this coming sunday. My favorite drink is Mio orange/tangerine. Mmm mmm

I'll chime in here. My NUT from years ago showed me research stating that the artificial sweeteners in diet soda (aspartame & sucralose to name a couple) create a much higher insulin spike than the regular sugar in regular soda. This causes our bodies to store more fat and can seriously hinder weight loss. Not to mention, it's going to mess with diabetics.

Just because something has 0 calories doesn't mean it's healthy.

I'm not a soda drinker but I stay away from anything "diet". I'm insulin resistant so I won't go near the stuff.

I don't mean to get preachy. You do what works for you. I just thought this would be good info to share.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
