I was a Diet Coke addict before my sleeve and I drank hem up until the day before my surgery. Since having my sleeve done, I have not even wanted a DC. I have actually craved Water, and I HATE Water.

I used to love Coke Zero. I am now three and a half months post op VSG and haven't had one nor wanted one. Don't want to try I figure I am not missing it so why try. I drink coffee every day, have since the second day after surgery, I only have one a day and that seems to do me. I have no issues with coffee at all.

Meh......don't stress yourself out.

Enjoy the diet sodas now. You'll forget all about them once you have your surgery.

You won't even miss them....at least that's how it was with me. Almost 11 months out from VSG, I don't think about them at all.

It's a non-issue.

I've been cleared by my surgeon to have them if want, but I no longer really care about them.

I was a hyoooooge drinker of Diet Dew and Diet Coke when I was pre-op.

I drank about 5 Coke zeros a day all be way up until surgery day. I am almost 3 weeks post op and I miss them a little but not too much. It's more of a lack of variety problem. I don't drink coffee or tea and all the crystal

Lights are so sweet to me now that I basically just drink Water. Which is great.... But a tad boring

Oh I am right there with ya'll! HUGE Diet Coke drinker, 6-8 a day, cannot stand Water unless I am out in the heat! I'm in the insurance approval process now, been denied once. But I think I'll just let the surgery take care of them.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
