So, prior to surgery, I was a self-confessed Dr. Pepper addict. Since I started dating my wife, I had pretty much switched over to Diet Dr. Pepper. My nutritionist obviously told me to steer clear of soda because of the carbonation. However, I really miss the flavor. Has anyone tried using a soda flavoring like the SodaStream line, with plain Water instead of the carbonated Water?

Interesting ! Good idea but how much sugar would be in it?

Toscani makes sugar free syrups in many flavors and it is made with Splenda.

Maybe give them a try and see if they have anything that sounds good to you.

Don't know if true but I heard if u put the soda in a blender it will take the carbonation out............

I was also curious if I could just open a Diet Dr. Pepper and let it sit till it goes flat. Not the ideal solution, just a thought

If you have a Sonic near you, they can make a slush with Diet Dr. Pepper. It's amazing, and no carbonation at all. :)

They can also add cherry or vanilla Syrup and it only adds a few calories. The slush mix has some calories, but not too many, and it really helps with the cravings.

Im also a diet dr pepper addict. I bought the diet dr pepper flavor for soda stream and added it to plain Water and it was absolutely disgusting. I gave them up in Janurary and crave a nice cold can.

  • piercedqt78 - Unless Sonic has changed their recipe for the slush mix, no thanks. I worked their when I turned 16 and had to make the slush mix. It was just basically sugar and Water. And the flavoring is just soda from the fountain. A 20oz "Real Fruit" Lemon slush has 290 calories and 72 grams of sugar.

jalyn96 - thanks for the heads up.

14 oz of the base is about 140 calories. Like I said it does have sugar, and calories, but if you are craving a coke or Dr. pepper there is no carbonation, and it really eases the craving. I get a child sized or a small, so it's about 70 calories for the 8 oz, and the diet dr pepper has like 10 calories. Not too bad.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
