    Thank you for writing to me. I still need encouragement after 2 years too. You have to stay motivated. Work hard in the first 6 months because it falls off then and you don't feel hungry. If you stick to your surgeons notes you will do fine. Sounds like you have a busy life .. That will help you a lot.
    I will try look in more frequently as I need the support
    Take care all the best Hev

    Thanks. I am working on this now. This forum has been a great support system. I don't believe I am getting the required protein and calories per day.

    Hi Cathbas,

    I'm 67. Are you exercising enough. I'm not. Surgery was 4 months ago. I've only lost 35 lbs.

I'm saying that if you can drink them, and you want one, then you should. Just don't count it toward the 80/64. Who the heck says that soda is forbidden anyway?

Now, for clarification. I don't drink them, or anything carbonated because it tears my sleeve up. But, if I could, and I wanted one, then I would.

Again..if you aren't drinking sodas because of some caloric or dietary restriction, then
