soda

I am doing okay but would really like to have a diet soda. I know the carbonation is a no on at this point in time but will we be able to have one in the future?? If the people on Oprah can drink beer why can't we have a diet soda??????????

Hi Beth , My doctor told me i could have soda after 3 months i now have some once in a while, dont really like it to much ....Love Maria

Welp I think its more of a why would you even want to go back to drinking it type thing... For me I will never do it again. I learned my lesson the 1st time round drinking that "absoluty nothing in it good for you" type stuff. I say call your NUT. If she says yes then I guess you have your answer. For me I wont touch the stuff again. I got a second chance and I am going to take advantage of it. Best of luck to you!! Felicia =0) ~ who isn't going to drink beer either for that matter...

Everyone is different and every nutritionist says something different. I don't even know my nuts take on sodas because I am a PEPSI drinker...LOVE regular PEPSI. Don't care for many diet sodas. Would prefer to drink plain water than the aftertaste of diet soda, but that is just me. I have had a few tastes of Pepsi since my surgery. I take a sip, swi**** around in my mouth to break down the bubbles and get the taste and swallow and my craving is gone. I also loved iced tea. I found and awesome SF tea (no lemon flavoring) at Walmart for 50 cents a bottle and they taste just like sweet tea. YUMMY!!! I'd rather have that for a treat. If your nut says that soda is OK at this point or maybe 6 mos (which is in a month) then from time to time they should be OK. I do know that my boss's daughters both had the surgery and one drinks diet soda all the time and the other steers clear of it and the one that drinks it gained a good bit of her weight back and the one that steers clear has maintained her goal and had a tummy tuck and is doing great. I keep that in mind when I want one. I say if you are craving them and you nut says you can safely have them now, once in a while for a treat, it would be OK. Same with alcohol. Don't indulge, but treat yourself once in a while. Just my 2 cents!!! Hugs, Tabby
