Well they have diet coke that is made with splenda. I have never had it personally but it does not have aspartame in it.

I thought carbonated beverages were a big no no being sleeved as it expands your stomach. I quit drinking diet beverages last Christmas trying to cut out artificial sweeteners. I do drink a lot of unsweetened ice tea. If you need sweetener use truvia.

I am being resleeved for a neofundus....I am actually try to do diet teas without aspartame or caffiene, not an easy thing to find, maybe i can brew some Decaf and add sweetener...what is suppose to be the safest sweetener at the current? I am not looking for carbantion, although they told me and others who post it does not affect the sleeve...Not sure what to believe anymore.... :wacko:

yeah i understand your pain! I was addicted to Diet Dr Pepper! Havent had one in over a year now and happy about that but still miss it from time to time.

I cant do plain Water either unless it is icy icy cold and only on occasion. I do alot of mio and disani drops in my Water but I am not sure what type of sweetner is in them.

I keep lemons around the house and make my own ice cold lemonade with whatever sweetener I have around the house (except for sugar).

I also make iced tea.

Hope this helps! I feel your pain!!!

I've had carbonated drinks lately...I was sleeved 4/29. It's not so much it stretching the sleeve, it's VERY uncomfortable, bordering on extremely painful. With that said, it'd be smarter to make your own drinks.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
