I only ever drank diet soda - not a drop of Water. Like everyone said, it was very easy to give it up and I didn't even crave it. I do admit that every now and then, when I am at the beach eating lunch with my sister, I will take a very small sip of her ice cold soda but it I take two sips I am in pain.

I absolutely loved Diet Pepsi! I haven't had one since being banded. I went through withdrawls. I really did. I know it was just the caffeine leaving my body. I was a serious Diet pepsi drinking. Almost four 24oz bottles a day. Hardly ever drank Water. I have been drinking water non-stop now. I love water now. My skin is looking better too. It took me two days of withdrawls, I mean headaches and all. I now know what a smoker, drug addict, or alcoholic goes through; addiction is addiction.

I too was a big time Diet coke drinker. Notice I said WAS!!! LOL!! I used to drink about 10 cans a day. I too quit cold turkey in April and have absolutely no desire for them. I would rather see the 53 pounds lost then have my Diet Cokes! If you set your mind to it you can do anything....and the band will help!!

      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.
