I too am sooo addicted to diet coke. If you are anything like me then if you know the reason behind it, following it is alot easier and if you think about diet coke--if its warm its not fizzy/bubbly but if it is cold it is. Thats because the cabonation is a gas that gets released when it heats up (i.e-inside of our stomachs) so with that release of gas it can easily stretch out our tiny little pouches rendering them alot less effective. I plan on weaning slowly down in the next two weeks before surgery then only drinking it at room temperature in tiny sips if I absolutley need the taste down the road--on the upside it will be a whole lot easier to not drink with meals without my coveted beverage of choice. What is it about diet coke that is so addictive I don't hear people talk so passionatly about any other drink--not even diet pepsi-If i open the fridge and there is no diet cokes, i feel physically ill like it is the antidote to a snake bite, hows that for obsessive, also one a day at lunch isn't so bad I easily drink 8-10 24oz. bottles a day

i dont know but i do love my diet cokes. When i do get my procedure i do plan to adhere to the letter of what to eat before and after...but i do think that eventually i will introduce just a few sips of it back in at some point..not right away...i'll probably never ever again drink a 44 oz. cup of it....but i think i'd be happy with a small cup..and everything in our world is about portion control...

Carbonation issue, but I just heard on the radio last week about diet cokes (John Tesh), that drinking diet coke makes you 20-30% more likely to be morbidly obese. He said 1. because you underestimate your daily calories, because you think you're doing good by drinking diet coke and 2. the fake sweetener does something (derrr I forget now) either makes you crave sugar, or stores fat.. people have talked about it before.

He also said the acidity in diet coke is 2x that of normal coke, and causes your teeth to rot a lot quicker.
