When can we have diet soda again?

I would ask your Nut. But all I can think about is what happens when you shake soda then open it. I was told the same thing can happen in that small pouch causing it to expand. Same reason you shouldn't eat bread products that haven't been toasted, because yeast expands the pouch. But each doctor is different.

I'm allowed untoasted bread products, I'll let someone else tackle the carbonation myth.

Diet soda is full of chemicals and does absolutely nothing for your body. Why would you work ago hard to get healthy and then pollute you're body with that junk...just because its zero calories doesn't mean its not junk. Caffeine will dehydrate you and the bubbles will harm your pouch. I think its just a stupid unnecessary addiction that we should all simply avoid. Fill your body with goods things, make every bite and every sip count!

I was a diet pepsi lover and drank 6-8 cans a day. It was difficult to stop but after surgery I did not have any, about a year post op I had a sip and it tasted like all chemicals !!! I have a small glass of soda every once in a while to remind me of how awful that crap is - LOL.

I have to agree with BB. I was dying for a sip of a fountain diet Pepsi. When I tasted it, I actually don't like the flavor anymore.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
