GaPeach31061 23 Posted June 2, 2013 Is anyone craving FIZZ ? What did you do to cure the crave? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted June 2, 2013 I had a serious diet pepsi problem. I weaned myself a can at a time pre surgery...I haven't found a substitute. Just drink diet v8 and Vitamin Water Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MissNikki27 54 Posted June 2, 2013 I quit cold turkey.....I do still crave the fizz but I dare not touch it. I haven't had my surgery yet but I'm trying to really prepare myself mentally and physically. I drink lots of crystal light, sugar free freeze pops, and Water.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElleG 394 Posted June 2, 2013 Thankfully I wasn't a huge pop drinker, but ... When I'm out and I get thirsty the coolers r filled with things I can't drink. I'm thirsty a lot. I try to keep a variety of drink enhancers to give me variety of tastes and flavors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kellyk2511 282 Posted June 3, 2013 I miss pop more than any food out there. And I wasn't even a huge pop drinker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R4TNM 51 Posted June 4, 2013 I have a can of diet soda a day It is just one of those habits I couldn't kick! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerz 251 Posted June 4, 2013 I have a can occasionally. Every surgeon is different but mine says that soda will not stretch your pouch because the pouch has an opening at the bottom like a funnel but most surgeons will scare you with the thought of stretching because soda can lead us back to unhealthy eating habits such as junk and fast food.

R4TNM 51 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm 5 months out and it doesent give me the dumping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deaddemmama 474 Posted June 4, 2013 I'm afraid the carbonation would either make me sick and full of gas and/or would stretch my pouch. Not taking the chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280 Posted June 4, 2013 During my monthly I would drink soda but when I'm normal soda makes me vomit big time. My body craves soda & salt & chocolate any other time I see soda & push it to the side Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GaPeach31061 23 Posted June 4, 2013 I have drunk the carbonated flavor water.Its zero calories and no caffeine. It didnt mess with me at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
