Ok so I've been bad.... I'm 4.5 weeks post op (down 45 pounds!!!) and I tried a sip of soda! It caused a little bit of distress, but nothing unbearable. I don't plan on having much any time soon.

Have any of you tried it? Anyone a year+ out drinking soda?

I'm a little over 10 months out and I drink diet coke daily, and have since 3 months out. No issues for me. I drink my 64 ounces of Water when I get to work in the morning, and then after lunch and throughout the rest of the day, I usually just drink diet coke.

I have tried it on occasions at 4m out as well as other things. I just chose not to drink it. I don't let this surgery limit me, I still live and I've lost 65lbs went from a size 22 to a size 10!!

I have not tried to drink soda since surgery (12 weeks out) but I really have no intentions to. There is a lot of nasty stuff in them that I'm no longer interested in consuming. Believe me it was one of my hardest habits to break. I was a 2-3 Diet Pepsi per day drinker. Plus the fear of the bubbles in my tummy is also undesirable.

I find I don't miss them as much as I thought I would. Now coffee on the other hand, that I miss.

      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.
