Craving Pepsi



Recommended Posts

Just say no! :) I havent had a soda since before my first procedure in 2015 - so probably 4 solid years now. Occasionally I DO get a craving, especially if I am out to dinner with people guzzling down sodas. Root Beer for some reason is like a huge one. I've allowed myself sips here and there over the years and honestly? The taste is TERRIBLE to me now and keeps the cravings away for a while. You can do it!

I never was a big soda drinker, that being said, I have had some soda post op. I'm 10 months post op though. It wasn't worth it. It just made me feel sick. Don't do it!

Soda hurts my belly SOOOO much. Once in a while when I am with my husband and kids at dinner if they have soda I may sneak a sip, and still 2.5 years out, its hurts so bad I cant even be bothered with it for months after that sip. Youre not missing anything ! Keep your determination strong!!

So Jewel (grocery store) by mrle had these to put in Water. Theres a root beer one and cream soda. The root beer tastes just like diet root beer but without the carbonation! There was also another one with cherry coke cause my favorite pop was cherry coke zero! It tastes ok but not as good as the root beer. Try them out...they are like 5 calories and sugar free 1547501266215.jpeg

      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.
