It's an aquired taste. I hated Diet Coke the first hundred times then liked it. I did no like Diet rite either but stayed with it because it doesn't have aspertame and learned to like it. Same with Sprite zero. You won't like it at first, but if you want to continue, it will taste better to you. I had to hold my nose to drink Scotch, but I did learn to enjoy it.

i don't like 'diet' cokes, but diet/zero/normal post-banding I can only drink a few sips before I want water.. but as for Sprite Zero, it's always my drink of choice if I have to have a coke. It tastes just like Sprite to me, just make sure it's cold!! I think this is where personal preference comes in, or what you eat normally.. Diet cokes are horrid to me :/

As for nausea, I like to sip on Ginger Ale..

IIRC Sprite Zero uses splenda, which I personally can't tolerate very well. It's worse than aspartame for me for that all day diet aftertaste -- and I mean ALL day. If I have something with it, I still have the aftertaste eight or so hours later.

YMMV, of course.

Sprite Zero is pretty good to me. I like the zero stuff they have out there, as for the drinking sodas <shrug> I just shake em up :thumbup: Good-Luck!

LJM at this point, if you are nauseous enough I would just go for the real thing baby. Sorry, yeah, that was beyond lame. But seriously though if you are feeling sick you are only going to be sipping it anyhow.

I like Sprite Zero but not Coke Zero - I'm absolutely a diet coke addict (yes I an pre-banded). I never liked Diet Sprite - always thought it had a yukky bite to it. (Can I use more dashes?!?)

My 2 cents, losin'!

I like Sprite Zero. It has less of a fake artificial sweetener taste to me than other diet sodas. I used to drink a lot of diet soda before the band. My doctor says it's OK to have it with the band, so I have one once in awhile. I don't crave it like I used to though, but when I do crave it, it's Sprite Zero I want now, instead of Diet Coke.

Sprite Zero is not bad. Has a bit of an after taste but it is okay once you get used to it. It should be an okay alternative to regular tastewise.

I've personally tried them all because I threw up during both of my pregnancies. Every day until the day my boys were born actually. Anyway, I must say that Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale was a favorite. I don't think it has that bitter bite that the zero products have. Just my opinion but I think it really helps settle your tummy. My doctor is fine with soda and the band so I still drink one soda a day. Good luck finding one you like.

Ginger Ale is for upset tummies b/c of the ginger root it has in it. Other sodas dont do anything really unless u "THINK" it does. I have not had any soda since my band and i dont miss them much eaither.... 53lbs lost tells me i dont need the crap. best of luck with ur upset tummy.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
