Diet Soda

I have drank diet mug rootbeer. I just make it flat. My surgeon said flat was O.K. After 6 weeks he says that soda is O.K. if it is poured over ice but that fountain is better, the less carbonated the better. I found that it is too sweet tasting now and I have only had two so far. The surgeon also said to leave the soda open in the frig for a couple of days to become flat. I'm thinking water and tea are better now for me. Hugs, Cathy

Cathy, Doesn't making it flat kinda defeat the purpose? My surgeon told me if I wanted pop, to let it go flat but ...the bubbles are what make it fun and delicious! I guess if it works for you though! Enjoy! Chele (who'd kill for a Caffeine Free Diet Coke!!!)

It really amazes me how things differ from surgeon to surgeon. There seems to be little rhyme or reason. I was allowed carbonation after two weeks. I can't imagine drinking flat soda! Beth
