Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Now I've heard that things with caffeine are not that much of a diuretic to make much of a difference... <sigh> someday the medical community will hopefully all agree on things....

I thought I would never be able to function without my colas but since I have cut them out and havent had any diet foods at all since last Nov I find that I crave water ( I was NOT a water drinker before surgery) and do not care generally for beverages that are not water! As for the caffeine, Dr W thinks the caffeine makes you want to eat more...same with the diet drinks and the stuff in it. I used to laugh every time we went out for fast foods how the obese (inlcuding myself) would order a whopper with bacon and cheese, fries, apple pie and a diet coke!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I am must be weird because I have always hated diet soda and could never drink it. And that was a double whopper with bacon and cheese large fries apple pie and super gonzo gulp coke please to go and make it snappy pappy! Now its more like a nugget and half -of a fry my nephew has chewed on and a sip a water and I am good to go! Funny cuz I dont miss fast food. But I will admit that lately I have had the strongest cravings for caviar on some toast points with some creme fraiche. Its almost like now that my stomach is small I have turned into a food snob!

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 I love regular lemonade even now...but I hate to drink all that sugar...there just has to be a better product>>>> try splenda in lemonade instead of sugar.....absolutly no bitter after taste! And the crystal light lemonade is soooo gross! Had that before my sugery and couldnt stand the taste! but give splenda a try with the real thing.......

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Judie and AJ, I realize I'm really begining to look like the naughty child here, but not only do I drink regular pop on a limited basis, but its caffinated. Dr Hess didnt say to avoid caffeine, either that or I wasnt paying attention. I'm perfectly well hydrated, and this week was a 5lb loss. BTW, I also dring a litre of Aquafina water daily too. To each his own, I guess, I just choose to live a little.

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Meli, if it works for you dont worry about it! Id rather drink the sugar stuff than that nasty stuff any day. But I didnt develop a taste after surgery for anything but water so I keep that to a minimum. Knowing you eat pretty much like I do ala Kris.......that can of sugar pop isnt going to hurt you as evidenced by your losses! I do remember wanting to eat alot more, more often when ingesting caffeine products so I avoid them. You obviously drink plenty of water too and that is good! Remember, my husband eats donuts to break his plateaus LOL Hugs, Judie =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 of course caffeine wakes you up! lol it also makes me crave eating alot more than I would if I didnt drink it.....my oldest daughter was so addicted to caffeine in the pop that she was drinking 6- 8 per day and eating alot too! Now that she hasnt had any for 6 weeks she is no longer eating like she used to. Maybe it doesnt affect you that way but it does for a vast majority.
