Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Missy, honestly...try a tiny sip of soda. I did and it tasted so bad it cured me from trying it again. I used to drink 4-5 diet Coke's a day. Now, none, and I don't crave them at all anymore. I used to hate Gatorade, but now I love it (except the lemon-lime flavor). Did you know they now have Strawberry Kiwi Gatorade? It's fabulous! Congrats on the weight loss! ~Amy. _____________________________________________ Amy S. Poe MGB 5/22/2000 280/265/140 United Healthcare Select Plus POS approved post-op update Hey, guys!! Me again, checking in. Ten days post-op now, eleven pounds down. Trying not to weigh every day... but the scales call to me from the bathroom. I have decided to go home today and throw them away. I have been taking my Carafate and Prevacid religiously... but the Citrucel...I get it down when I can. It always makes a yucky paste that is absolutely unbearable! I have been testing the waters.... and I know I'm not supposed to.. but have been very careful. Whatever I eat, I only take one bite at first to see if I can tolerate it. Haven't really eaten any meat yet. Thought I wanted a piece of bread once, but when it hit the back of my throat, I quickly changed my mind and promised God if he would let me bring it back up, I wouldn't try that again anytime soon. :-) Anyway, mashed potatoes, grits, macaroni and cheese tolerated well ( I was starving!). No nausea (knock on wood), but have had some episodes of diarrhea! Still sipping the gatorade and the juice. Haven't had any sodas - and boy oh boy is it ever killing me! Just thought I'd check in.
