Coke Zero pre op diet

[Reason to Believe 77]

I am thinking about aiming for sleeve surgery next summer. It is very scary to me because I am worried about the major changes to what I eat and not being able get past head hunger. So one thing I am challenging myself to do is make changes now. I am in my 8th week without diet soda. I had a major addiction to diet coke/diet pepsi/diet dr pepper. I drank it from morning to night. I don't drink coffee. I have replaced the soda with iced Water and the occasional flavored water. Never thought I could do it. But I am doing it and I am, dare I say it, proud of myself.

Having said that follow your Dr and Nut.

Congrats on kicking the diet pop habit. I am close to a week with no diet coke. Still having some headaches but I am confident I will never go back. I'm not a huge fan of flavored bottled Water so I am still looking for water add ins. Do you have any you recommend that would also be good post op?

Hi Knitchic,

That's awesome. The headaches do go away. In the past I've added crystal light drops but I didn't really like them. One thing I'm going to investigate is that there are bottles that you can infuse your water with fresh fruit etc. Good luck with everything.

Mio drops are good. I was never a huge crystal light fan pre-op but now I use crystal light and Mio drops all the time to help me get in my Water.< /p>
