Soda Pop

[Aube 42]

Is any one out there 6 months or more drinking soda pop? Is pop out all together for life or can it be consumed in small serving? Need to know!!!

My NUT at our support group meeting said that soda is discouraged due to calories. She indicated that most obese patients drink sweetened soft drinks with lots of calories. I personally only drank diet soda. She also indicated that diet soda does not count toward daily Fluid intake since the carbonation acts as a diuretic. Does that make sense? I've had carbonated diet soda (I'm 4.5 months post op) and I just let it sit open to reduce some of the carbonation before I drank it.

Some people go back to it, but it's not recommended by nutritionist. I quit soda over 4 years ago & font miss it one bit
