I think getting those teeth pulled was a good thing; even though I can only have semi soft foods for another week. If I had known now, what I knew when I started drinking soda or coffee, I wouldn't. That mess has caused me more issues with my teeth and body that I don't like. I cannot remember if I already posted this; but I was telling Ruff one day, that when I would have my morning coffee; I would start with a 12oz Starbucks cup and add two tablespoons of creamer. The coffee is 2 calories for each 12oz and the creamer is 35 calories for each tablespoon. Already, I have consumed 72 calories just in coffee. I would have atleast two cups of coffee every morning. This adds up to 5 calories for coffee and 140 calories for the creamer. Multiply that by seven days and you get: 35 calories for coffee and 980 calories for the creamer. Total calories consumed in my morning coffee: 1015. Muliply that by four weeks and you get: 4,060 calories...That is an additional pound every month...No wonder I am feeling much better and less bloated.

Good Luck today and have fun,

Zimmeh
