I watch the shows about john and he lost 115lbs and looks good. my q? is how can he drink that much deit coke....i seen he was ,so of course i followed and wow i burped for hours...anyone else drinking pop...

My Dr said no drinking carbonated drinks.

I dont have any problems drinking it, I just dont drink it all the time.

he drinks alot of carb. drinks i was wondering how he was doing that

I have one every few days. Takes me 8 hours to finish a 20 oz bottle. I used to have 2 or 3 in a day. Mostly I stick to water and iced tea with no sweetener. That way I don't have to worry about all the crazy burping.

It's crazy how much doctors instructions differ. My surgeon said it was ok to have carbonated drinks as long as it doesn't bother you. I have a diet coke every now and then. I also drink beer occasionally.

I haven't drank the crap for over 20 years.

It has no nutritional OR physiological value.

Nope... but some days it has psychological value... :biggrin:

My doc never had an issue with the consumption of diet soda so I drink it occasionally. I drink beer more often than soda but neither give me any problems.

I have not had a carbonated soda but I must admit, I have has a few beers since surgery. While I drink them much more slowly, i have never had any horrific side effects.

I drink (1) diet coke every day and I've never had a problem.
