Soda Pop?

Hi Jody! I was ADDICTED to diet coke. I probably had at least 12 cans a day on a good day if not more. I haven't had one for I believe 2 months now. My skin looks great, I feel less "puffy" and I actually don't miss it! I did have a hard time the first week or so but after that, I didn't miss it. Frankly, one of the "cons" of me getting the band was the lack of diet coke but then I realized losing weight was OBVIOUSLY more important than missing the diet cokes. Also, I seem to have less of a sugar craving now.

They should have a dependency group for diet coke because I truely think it's addictive. Not to mention what it does to your body. For the longest time I couldn't figure out why diet coke was never outside of gas stations any longer and they told me because when it's over 90 degrees out, the chemicals change and become formaldehyde! Urban myth, maybe but I'm not going to chance it any longer.

Good luck to you!

Thanks for the reply. Not going to drink alcoholic beverage anytime soon, but I noticed that I was not sleepy at bedtime a few nights ago and took a valium and I was groggy within minutes. I already told hubby that I would be a cheap dinner date, he could order what he wants and just give me a few bites, but I wasn't considering alcohol. Maybe I better try one at home first so I won't fall flat on my face in public. LOL!

Thanks again
