You're in good company. I wasn't trying to restrict calories when I ordered, I just liked the taste of diet coke! :lol:

Oh not me! When I go, I go for the gold!!! Big fat cheeseburger meal, large sized with a full sugar 32oz coke!!! Oh wow, can't even describe how much I don't miss that old life! Lol

Now you couldn't pay me to take a bite of that crap. I'm too afraid I'd want it all over again ;)

WHAT??? You mean that the acid in the Diet Coke doesn't burn off the calories from the dripping, double cheeseburger? That could explain the extra 80 lbs I was carting around, huh?

Years ago my favorite treat was a king size Snickers bar and a Diet Coke. This was after the extra large burger and fries. I have not had surgery yet, but I don't eat like that anymore. I gained all this weight eating much healthier. LOL

I was raised drinking Diet Coke, so truthfully, I was always that person, too ;) lol. The funny thing? I don't miss the crap food, but I'm sure I'll miss the Diet Coke!

maybe you won't, goirish, but I am not gonna lie to you...of all the things I miss, my beloved Diet Coke ranks way near the top...I know it wasn't healthy for me anyway, but sometimes there was nothing that would make me feel better than an ice-cold Diet Coke, preferably from the fountain and not out of a can or bottle (love my ice with it).

omg how I would love to eat that cheeseburger. I don't even care about the diet coke. Too bad I'd only be able to take 3 bites. I've come to the realization that it isn't worth my money to order food in a restaurant. I have tried and tried but simply cannot eat even half of whats on my plate.

Haha that was me too! I thought I missed diet coke too but after I drank some a while back I realized it does not taste good nor feel good in my new stomach.

agreed, sharon...but I just take the leftovers home and make another 1 and most times 2 meals out of it...I was never one to want to take leftovers home from a restaurant, even when I couldn't eat it all...but I have learned now that it is worth it

      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.
