Who drinks DIET soda???

T - I wouldn't do it... That soda is sooooooooo sweet, could cause you to dump. It's like Crack.. Josh is addicted to it!! Just say no! A

Thanks ~A, You are right, I am not going to touch it. One of the girls here were I work. she started after you left. She is 2 years post-op and she drinks sodas like crazy. I was asking her if it messed with her pouch she said no, she drinks it all the time. I had a PMS craving for it but now I don't want ti anymore. Thanks for being here for me.. See you next Tuesday. Montego

Hey Mo - I'm nearing 5 years post op and RARELY if ever drink sodas. In the past, I have but I strongly suggest you avoid them. The other replies are on the mark. Carbonation, sugar, uncomfy gassy feeling, burping??? Not kewl and besides there are all sorts of fab drinks you can try that are better for us and doesn't leave us wanting more to drink as sodas do!!! Good luck sweetie! All best - Kat

Hey Kat haven't seen you in awhile how are things going with you?  I know, I know, I don't need it. I am going through a moment right now craving stuff. PMSing. I am not going to drink I really don't want to do anything that is going to mess my pouch up and make me gain all my weight back.  BTW!!! 5 years post-op is great. When I grow up I want to be just like you. Montego

Things are going pretty well on this end. Very excited about my oldest gal heading for 1st grade and have enjoyed an AMAZING summer. I've just turned 30 and its really something very special for me. Life is plugging along nicely and I've got some wonderful things I'm looking forward to. I'm going to be around a bit more often (that is my hope) and you can always PM me. :)  Ah yes the lovely PMS days...stay strong sweetie! Btw, if you have a minute there is a MUST read on the Christianity Forum I think you will LOVE (bout old habits and such). I want you to be just like YOU beautiful! You are looking absolutely GREAT!  All best & big hugs, Kat :)

Fight the cravings girl.  You can do it.  I know you already decided against it but wanted to throw my two cents in.  A lot of people who have gone back to soda on a regular basis comment that it does affect their weight loss and how they feel.  I just don't think it is worth it. Your new pic is gorgeous lady.  You are stunning.  

Thanks Courtney,  I need your 2 cents and more. I don't want to go backward just forward to success. Thanks for the comment on the pic. Mo 

No soda. Not worth risking the expansion of your pouch. So not worth it.

hi.i started drinking diet soda around 3 months out and im now 6 months out.  i only drink it flat.  its so much better than crystal lite abd everything.  i mean, i do drink the other stuff but some cold soda is good.  ive lost almost 100lbs so far, so i guess its different for everyone.
