SODA!!!!

I want soda so bad..i jst had to vent!!! WOOOOO SAAAAAAH!

Hang in there. You are doing great.

Thank you mysister..lawd knows i'm trying..lol, i'll get thru it..lol!

I'm right there with you!! Whenever I'm at the grocery store, I see those ice cold diet coke bottles by the registers and die a little inside. HAHA

I used to drink 2-3 of those bottles a day and gave them up about a month before surgery. So I've lived without Diet Coke for about 4 months. I don't want to throw that away. Water is my drink of choice from now on. :)

omg..arent thos lil fridge's the devil!!! i was at walmart tonight..salivating..lol! If i cud shut the DS off for just 1 day a month...i'd be bathing in Diet Pepsi..lol!!!

WITH A STRAW..LOL!

If you want some soda, HAVE SOME! It will *probably* make you rather uncomfortable. I first tried it at about 3 months post-op, and it HURT! Even now, almost ten years out, I can't drink much of it, and it just doesn't taste as good as I remember it.

Thank you for that info MsBatt..im glad im afraid enough about the pain i could have..cuz im not a soda sipper..im a gulper..lol!

I used to enjoy Diet Cokes.....especially when McDonalds ran their any size pop for a buck. I would get the biggest one they had.

At two years out, I don't tolerate the carbonation. But mostly, I find the taste of DC disgusting....a strong chemical "syrupy" sludgy taste. I had a burger at one of the fast food joints about a month ago and found the salt and overall taste to also be, well, disgusting.

In general, eating healthier nonprocessed foods since my DS has really changed my taste for different foods. You may look forward to that feeling a DC gives you (that "ah!!!!!", but don't be alarmed if it just doesn't taste good.

You're right about things not tasting the same! I used to be IN LOVE with bbq spits sunflower seeds, coulnd't keep enough bags! Well, ever since iv tried to enjoy them again...i cant get excited and one bag lasts forever..lol!
