I would love more input on this thread also so i can do the right thing.

Hey there, I'm like you! Soda lover, guilty as charged. And none of this diet/coke zero stuff. I gulped down a can of regular coke everyday.
The first week getting in 64 oz of water was difficult for me. I felt so full and wanted something that actually had TASTE. But I couldn't see any way around it (didn't know of MIO then) so I just had to take it. This is my 4th week on the diet and I am now comfortably drinking water. And yes, I have MIO at home but my DH and I use it more for making gelatin rather than flavoring our water.
I do crave for soda from time to time, especially when I see pizza and other food that just taste good with it but that has lessened considerably. I've even told my husband that I doubt I'll go back to drinking coke even after I'm off the diet.
Just give it time and if MIO helps, then by all means, have it. Then try to lessen it to every other day. I think after a couple of weeks/months, you won't even notice what you're missing.
