evobuilder 0 Posted January 23, 2009 OK.... I was an avid Diet Coke drinker.... 6-8 a day at my peak of 345 (ironic huh!). Now I am post op 4 months, and down from 283 when i started pre op... now I am 241. I drink diet Snapple, coffee and Water with no issue. Every oncce and awhile I want someting in a can... I have found something that works great Diet Mountain Dew it already has little carbonation.... goes flat in about 10 mins of being opened and even when flat, tastes pretty decent. Now, I am not drinking 10 a day... more like 1 or 2 aq week, but it is nice to have a soda once and awhile. Just wanted to share... good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jfc193 718 Posted January 24, 2009 Sounds like a way to go. I too used to drink diet coke when I was 320 lbs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rat427 0 Posted March 22, 2009 high volume diet soda drinker - diet pepsi favorite second day of 10 day pre-op now - op is 3/31/09 Arizona diet green tea seems good - zero everything except 10 grams sodium per 8 oz. Available in cans, bottles, and gallon jugs. I love Crystal Light peach tea but my wife thinks aspartame is responsible for all illnesses, physical and mental, known to man. Will probably use Arizona post-op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just wanted to share... good luck to all! saw "soda...maybe a solution for some" and thought I'd pop in, eventhough this is the mens room....I'm searching for a solution myself. I go thru a 2 liter a day or almost...I just can't stop- especially now it's getting warmer outside. I'm sure it's mental but if I wasn't drinking the sodapop I'd drop weight really fast. Okay, I'll leave the mens room now and try your suggestion. Diet Dew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
