I stopped drinking soda. Not by choice but one of my new meds has this weird side effect that causes carbonated drinks to taste very flat. I tried drinking them anyways but it is to the point where I no longer want to drink them. I’m also worried about mixing coffee with Xanax. I know alcohol is deadly but I don’t think coffee is too good either. That basically leaves me with lemonade. So I’ve been drinking a lot of lemonade and brisk half and half where the caffeine content is very very low. I have heard of people dropping 10-15 pounds just from stopping soda. Does anyone have any expirence with this?

Also has anyone taken topamax before?

My old goal weight was 145. My doctor wanted me to stop at 150. I currently no longer see that doctor. I think I may want to try to get to 135. I am 5’4 and I have a large athletic build I am not sure this is ok or not but the only person who I have asked before besides my doctor was my therapist and she told me to stop losing weight when I was 185 pounds and still 13 pounds away from being overweight (I was still obese according to BMI)
