I have not touched it myself I was told no Carbonated beverages forever.

Minute maid has a sugar free Orange Aide and a lemonade that's also SF its in a can so try drinking that and see if that satisfies your hunger for Sodas. There are literally no sugar in them as in zero (0)

Good Luck to you

Sometimes I'll have a Diet Pepsi. Maybe about once a month if that.

It might go down ok then the next time not sit very well. It's a hit or miss so I don't try it too much.

And I just don't have a taste for it anymore. I'm stuck on water and iced tea.

i sip a little diet coke or pepsi several times a week.  i try to flatten it a bit and never have more than about 4 ounces at a time.

but i do enjoy it as a treat every now and then

be safe and well, jacki

Yes, I do. I know a lot of people that don't. Most of the time though, even after all this time, I just mostly drink water. But I enjoy soda now and then...sometimes even a *GASP* REAL soda.
And just to those reading...carbonation will NOT stretch your pouch. I do remember reading recently though that the artificial sweeteners, like those in Diet Soda, and even Crystal Light, can work to stimulate your hunger for some reason...I forget why now. At any rate, just like anything else, I do it moderately, don't go crazy.

Actually my doctor said I could do flat Diet sodas.  I know this sounds gross to a lot of people but I really enjoy a nice cold flat soda!

I don't b/c I don't have a taste for it anymore. I'd say as long as the artificial sweetner isn't causing you an increase in appetite and you're getting in at least 64oz of water (hopefully more) daily you should be fine. Moderation with anything is the key! GoodLuck!

I don't.

I went through too much to get healthy to start allow myself to return to unhealthy, possibly self-sabotaging behaviors. 

If I want something besides water or crystal light to drink, I drink V8 Hot & Spicy or I make me a homemade latte or frappie out of hot skim milk & sugar free syrups.

I found all sorts of different flavors in Walmart brand and different flavors of tea. I do not drink soda or anything carbonated at all.
Yes, RNY worked for me but it also requires a lot of work from me!
