For me, I don't miss diet coke as much as I thought I would. While I only had about 12 oz a day, I gave it up because of the caffeine and artidicial sweetener (personal choice). I thought I would miss it a ton, but I don't really miss it at all. Now, salmon and tuna sushi and sashimi is an entirely different story.
What did you give up that you do not miss as much that you thought you would?
Re: Things you don't miss as much as you thought you would
Surprisingly, beer. I've never been a huge beer drinker but DH drinks beer exclusively and I think the smell is amazing now lol. I never used to like the taste but every once in a while I will smell the beer and just want to down the whole bottle lol.
ETA: Pregnancy brain.. I totally read this post wrong lol. But sushi is def. up there with things I thought I would miss A LOT more than I do.
Beer. I used to have a couple Guinness when I would come home but I haven't really missed it at all. I saw FI drinking it last night and didn't even want any.
Now Sushi...that's a different story. I'm going to eat my weight in sushi as soon as this LO pops out!

Coffee. Don't get me wrong, I miss it dearly, but I really thought it would be unbearable. I cut it out because I've been trying to eliminate caffeine. Last week DH got me one and it was amazing, and I think I will continue to have one once in a while. But I'm really not missing it the way I expected to.
Now wine, on the other hand, is difficult. I was never a wine drinker but literally the month I got pregnant I had just found a wine that I love (well, it's an Australian pink moscato) we have 3 bottles in the house because I wasn't expecting to get pregnant.

I don't miss coffee...I'm surprised I used to have my jumbo travel mug every morning but I don't miss it at all. I don't even feel like drinking it when DH makes it. I have been drinking diet coke w/splenda too which satisfies my diet pop craving.
I do miss having a couple beers...
Oh and I miss lunch meat...it's hard to find something to eat at lunch now. I heart sandwiches.
I miss sushi so much. sigh.

I don't miss soda like at all. My doctor recommended hanes natural soda if i was craving it since it has no caffeine and no artificial stuff in it. Totally good mixed with orange juice!
But i am CRAVING sushi. I am going to ask my doctor next week if california rolls would be ok since there is no raw fish.
Honestly, I don't live life a whole lot differently now than I did before. I'm trying to think of what I was afraid of missing when I was pregnant with DS, but I think since we were trying for so long, I was expecting the changes more and didn't end up missing things that much.
I do miss being able to sleep in the car on the way home from the bar on Wednesday nights. now that DH has a built in dd, he drinks more than he used to and even if I'm falling asleep at the wheel I have to drive, because he can't. That was lame last night. But it's not a huge deal most of the time.
I really thought I would miss my daily wine and cigarette when I got home from work and I really don't.
My adderall however is another story LOL. I don't miss it that much... It just made work go by a lot faster. And I was MUCH more productive. I'm pretty much a lazy POS now.
Its so strange to go through the day with my hormones being my only source of uppers/downers.
I was thinking I?d have a harder time giving up Coffee. I am one of those people who would have two lrg cups in the morning followed by Starbucks in the mid afternoon. I?m really kind of liking the non caffeinated me ? plus I?m saving a bunch of money.
