You should probably start training your mind to stay away from the carbonated drinks right now since you can't have it after surgery. Good luck!!

We were not allowed to. And really diet soda has caused a huge stall for me 6 months post op. Like I was doing great then boom stall all because of that dang soda

On my first meeting with my dietitian she told me that after surgery sodas are not permitted, because of the empty calories and sugar even, seltzer Water and the no calorie beverage should be off limit. They cause gas, bloating and risk of acid reflux.

Nope, you're going to have to get used to Water, iced tea, and other non-calorie liquids

Try Vitamin Water zero or other diet drinks? Good luck!

I don't normally drink soda. I really just like Water milk. I every once in a while will drink a Powerade zero or a diet soda. Maybe twice a month I have one or the other. I'm just worried that decayed I can't eat I'm going to get tired of the milk and water which is kind of how I'm feeling. I don't want it every day even. I just thought I could have one to change it up but it doesn't matter now. I bought vita water and I'm satisfied.

There are all sorts of ways to flavor your water; fruit, cucumber, Water enhancers

I wouldn't recommend it just because you have to get used to not having any after the surgery. Cherry pomegranate crystal light tastes good [emoji14]

Use this time to think about how you want to eat for the rest of your life. In my opinion, every bite and sip after surgery and for the rest of your life should be as nutritious and healthy as possible. Artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavorings don't meet the healthy criteria. Water and herbal teas are great. There is a lot of research that shows artificial sweeteners to be very detrimental to weight loss. They confuse the body/brain - lots of sweet but no calories? Let's just lay down some fat reserves just in case. The stuff is toxic - a chemical cocktail. If your goal is long term healthy living, just give it up now and be done with it. Just my opinion, and I wish you the very best surgery!!!

My surgeon had no problem with me drinking diet soda for my pre-op diet. I limited myself to one 12 oz diet soda per day during that time.
