soda... maybe a solution for some



Recommended Posts

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!

Sounds like a way to go.

I too used to drink diet coke when I was 320 lbs

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.

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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
