Is there a DPA? Diet Pepsi Anonymous?

[STLMom2006 0]

I'm also a recovering DP addict. I would drink anywhere from 1-2 2 liters a DAY! I stopped cold turkey the day before surgery. I have read about bandsters that can still enjoy soda, but not me.

One drink was all it took for me to PB violently out my nose and burn my chest. I'm actually glad I had that reaction to the carbonation because if I didn't I'd be back on that wagon.

It gets easier. I supplement my caffiene addiction with a cup of coffee in the morning and a ice tea or something in the afternoon.

I too, not long after surgery thought a Slurpee was a safe way to get that Cola flavor in, then I read the nutrition information about Slurpee's online...and they ARE carbonated. So just be careful with them!

Ah $h!t. Well, there goes that! lol Thanks for the info, won't be doing that again!

Why is it that some people have no problem? My mom had bypass and said at first she couldnt drink soda but slowly she could and now it is no problem. Maybe she stretched out a little??

Icee's are actually carbonated so be careful with them too... I was a severe diet pepsi addict for over 30 years. I felt crappy for about a month when I stopped, but... after a while I stopped missing them. I did try one over the holidays and it tasted like ick... so I guess my recovery is complete.
