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>

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.

I miss pop more than any food out there. And I wasn't even a huge pop drinker!

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.

I know people in my wls support group that let it go flat first but I figure what's the point?

I'm afraid the carbonation would either make me sick and full of gas and/or would stretch my pouch. Not taking the chance.

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

      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.
