Diet Pepsi Without Aspartame
I just tried the Diet Pepsi without Aspartame. It has Sucralose instead. In my opinion it tastes pretty good and it does not have an aftertaste. And yes I know than diet soda is not the best beverage I could drink and yes I know Sucralose is not the best sweetener I can ingest as far as many are concerned. If diet soda is the only unhealthy choice I make, I can live with my decision. Anyway, just thought I'd give a heads up to my fellow diet soda drinkers.
After a bariatric physicians conference He went to last year my surgeon now only says no carbonation for 6 months. He changed his no carbonation ever stance. I had my first diet soda just yesterday, where I drank like 8-12 oz. I have taken sips here or there. Still don't find it comfortable to my pouch unless it sits so some of the fizz goes down. I was never a big soda drinker but I miss I cold Coke on ice in the summertime. and not diet.

I did not introduce carbonation back into my life until 1 year post-op. My surgeon did not forbid it but did warn it could make my pouch feel very uncomfortable. At first it took some getting used to but now it is no problem. Everyone has to do what is comfortable for them. I just like carbonated beverages so it is a non-issue for me. I also use a lot of sparkling water and add a Stevia based drink mix packet, True Lemonade that comes in a variety of flavors that I order on Amazon.
