drinking with the meals causes the food to wash down to the intestines and you will probably eat more and not get the full feeling. I find it hard to do this too, but I just take a sip now and then, not like I used to before surgery with a couple big glasses of Coke. Also, you should not be drinking any carbonated diet drinks either. Having been a Cokeaholic, I can't stand any diet drinks or many sweetened drinks now. Even my fav OJ tastes yucky, even after 5 months. Jer

hi jerry, i have quit drinking with meals. i have quit the diet pepsi and i am waiting the half hour before i drink or ear also. and i am measuring my food also. so far i am doing good this new year...
