Diet Pop in Colorado/Baron-Congrats!
Debbie:
I can say that I gave up sodas/pop cold turkey 30 days before surgery. Boy,
I can say that it was not easy! Everytime I say a Coke machine it was
calling my name….”Aw, just 50 cents and you can drink me”…talking about
having withdrawls (all in my head mostly). I had surgery in Feb 2001 and
have not had any sodas since Jan 2001. I drink alot of Crystal Light and
Diet Snapple along with lots of water. Do I crave a Coke or
Pepsi?…..no…..cause I don’t even want to chance any damage that the
carbonation might do to my pouch. This is just my choice and I saved alot of
money now since my whole family has given up drinking them.
Baron, congratulations on all your success. Happy “New” Birthday and I see
that you lost some more weight…Good for you!!! I have followed your story
for the past year (from a lurker’s view) and also visited your great web
site. Hang in there and enjoy your day of celebration.
While I am here, I might as well update everyone with my story. I started
out last Feb. at 280+ and I am down to 200 as of today. I has come off
slowly but it has come off and I am still loosing and toning up. I could
have lost more, bad habits do die hard at times, however, I am happy with
anything that I can get off.
