Flat Diet Coke

[UCLA man 101]

A guy in my support group said he still drinks Diet Coke. He opens the can or bottle in advance to let all the carbonation escape. Then he drinks it after it has gone flat.

I don't know what to think of this?

I've heard about this too, a lady at my work she has the Gastric Bypass and what she does is, she fills the cup with ice first then add the soda and wait until ice malts. A lot of ice more ice than soda.

Gross! Why bother.

For me, it was the "burn" from the carbonation that I liked. Can't imagine drinking it flat for the taste. To each his own I guess.

I don't see why it would hurt but flat soda doesn't sound very a appealing to me. Many have mentioned flat soda doesn't cause them issues.

Why drink that chemical crap bomb at all? So many other choices out there.

I waited about three and a half months before trying anything carbonated. The carbonation doesn't bother me, but I burp a lot. I find a 12oz can is a good size. I keep some Vitamin Water zero and coke zero on hand for my flavored sugar free beverages.

Yes iv hear the same too and the ice sparkling Water too. But that's like when I hear they ain't taking their Vitamins or not getting in enough Protein. Ummm say what??? Whyyyyyyy??? Lol

Diet drinks, and sodas in general, are just really bad for you. Why waste success on it?

[LipstickLady 25,682]

I drink Coke Zero (fizzy and with a straw no less!) all the time. I prefer a fountain soda, but will pour some over ice at home.

No success "wasted" here!

I didn't drink it before my NP gave me permission at 6 months, though.

I'm not a big coke drinker, I will however miss beer...

Really? how soon after surgery? how many? Trust me, I don't plan to drink any time soon after surgery, but I'm VERY curious to know..

I drink diet/zero soda as well, and I don't let it go flat. I put it over ice and drink it with a straw also. No issues whatsoever.

Did not start drinking it until around 7 months out tho.
