Before surgery I lived on mio fruit punch. Havent tried it yet. Also they have some new flavors like tangerine and blueberry lemonade. I really like I ocean spray sugar free packets which aren't at all the local stores but the white cran peach is great! You can try cucumber Water, and as soon as I'm allowed green tea again I will be drinking lots of that...you know turkey hill makes all kinds of great diet teas!

But as soon as I get to lovin one TH's teas they deem it seasonal and take it away from me:( They took my diet chai (that addiction was hard to get over) and then the diet blueberry tea (though my son says that one is back)! I'll have to stop and check before I go to work Friday as well as grabbing some Mio.

I was the same way! In fact I never felt thirsty before surgery but now, I carry ice Water with me at all times.

I hope I am like that. I grew up on soda.....never drank milk or Water but koolaid and soda. That is so my biggest vice. Fortunately I recognized that before I had kids. They all three love milk and choose water oaver just about any beverage. But I never allowed them to have soda til they were older and only on special occassions.

I will drink water but only at certain times. I'm looking forward to the money I will save from not drinking soda.

You will save a lot & it has a lot of sugar. Diet bad because they day it stretch your tummy.

How soon prior to surgery (besides the obvious NOW) is recommended to stop? I cut soda completely out of my diet a few yrs ago & lost a good bit of weight. But when I began drinking it again it piled back on...no surprise.

Soda makes my belly grow. I stop 1 month before surgery.

Then I guess I need to do the obvious and stop now. I am beginning all of my preop testing and was told I could possibly have surgery by mid August. I am going to go ahead and start on the preop diet so that it isn't a delay.

Yes you should plus soda isn't healthy even for skinny people.

I switched to diet pop 3 weeks pre op and had my last can the day before surgery I was a coca-cola addict I drank 6-8 cans a day. I thought that was gonna be the hardest thing to kick. I've only craved it once in the last 5 weeks. I love my iced green tea now. Took a sip of my husband's RC cola the other day (my 2nd choice favorite pop) and it tasted horribly sweet. I'm so happy I had this surgery

      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
