Diet Soda

Are any of you drinking diet sodas? Do you let them get flat before drinking and when did you start with them, months out? I checked on the main webpages and there seems to be a lot of conflicting info.... Cheryl

I drink diet Muggs root beer FLAT!!!! I loves it!!!! Also the new 7up flavors FLAT!!! Otherwise my tum hurts.....9 months and a little out.... Smoochies Arlies

I was told by Dr C that sodas are no no's why get back in a bad habbitand soda's (even diet) are a bad habbit. The acid in them wil eat your teath and i wont say about the carbonation ( I know it wont hurt your pouch) but it wil make you gassy. So that is MHO. So I just say no to sodas. Barry -157 and going on (stepping off soap box now)

I was told to never drink it again by my doctor and then my nutritionist said I could after several mos but to drink them flat. I prefer not to drink them. I do on occasion have a sip. I cannot finish a canned drink and only pour a swallow worth at home. Too gassy and makes me burp.

I"ve been drinking diet soda for a while now and it doesnt bother me at all, but then again nothing does! I only drink a sip or two and not everyday. I do wish that i had never tryed them or a few other things for that matter. I think that its differant for everyone in what they can tollerate, and just because you can don't mean you should ( yes, I"m talking to myself here ,HAHA). dawn

Ditto, I can drink them and NOT flat, but really should not and will take this is a sign not to any more, at least note a whole one, like above, maybe a swallow or two. It is hard enough still to get in enough water during a day without adding coke (diet coke, etc.) I'm 2 years out by the way.

I can drink a whole one and a real one for that matter and not dump i just have to make myself not do it !! I used to drink a 12 pack of real coke a day before surgery, i still miss it so bad its hard to watch other people drink it ! Heck i want one right now just thinking about it makes me shake! hehe dawn
