Great Day today

[socialbutterfly 3]

I had my visit with my surgeon today! I'm down 5 pounds from my visit with the nurse coordinator last week! It's been day # 2 without any Diet Coke too! I had been cutting back since my WLS seminar on7/9/13. I used to drink a 2 liter a day! I was driving home from the visit thinking hmmm a diet coke sounds so yummy! I knew I had to just forget about it but it was extremely hard. I figure if I can't make myself have will power now and change my mental state then I shouldn't have the surgery! Hopefully the next couple of months I CAN make the lifestyle changes so I WILL be succesfull!

Woo hoo great job. I was a huge dr pepper addict before. Those first couple of weeks are the hardest.

one 2-liter a day? HA!

i was up to 2 2-liters a day then i quit.

I have to say. after 18 years of nothing but diet coke.. that was the hardest thing to kick so far.

I am 3.5 months clean and some bad days, its hard to not want one.

but im eating better because some bad things i used to eat dont sit well with Water so i dont eat them. I dont like feeling nauseaus.

I used to also drink 2 liter of regular Pepsi a day. It was a very bad habit but now I'm in control & do it occasionally (half a can)but I want to not drink it at all not even when I'm on TOM.

I was a diet pepsi addict .... I drank about 6-7 cans a day and that was the only thing I drank, no coffee, no tea just DP!! After surgery I did not crave it only once in a while. About 6 months post op I took a sip and OMG it tasted like drinking chemicals = yuck !!! After a while you will get use to not drinking so much, at least I did. I have a diet soda every once in a while, maybe about a 1/2 can.

That's all great to hear. That's my fear....not getting my diet Pepsi. It's my addiction so it's good to hear it may not be that bad.

5 days til surg!
