Calling all diet soda addicts

[lunarose 97]

Hi All, Before my surgery I was a major diet soda addict I was drinking 3 liters a day and had been for 40 years. I have since my late teens issues with my tooth enamel it is dissolving. Since my surgery even though I stopped drinking diet soda it seems to have gotten worse. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

Yes I had/have the same problem. I am 38 and have drank diet soda since I was 14 years old (so 24 years) and had to give it up once I had the surgery but my doctors office gave me a binder with information and it says to try to stay away from it at least for 3 months after surgery. I have done good so far and for the whole first month after surgery I didn't drink any diet soda but I do find myself having a sip here and there now but not consistantly. I have pretty much weaned myself from it but like I said I still have a sip so I don't feel like I am depriving myself completely. It takes awhile to break old bad habits. I am with ya, just keep at it and try not to go down the soda aisle when you go to the store. I try to avoid it all together.
