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.

      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.
