Now i know soda is completely off limits, but oh how I've missed it! My addiction to this soda is worse than coffee. Every night on my way home from work, I'd stop by McDonalds grab a large strawberry soda for $1 and set it by my nightstand and drink it throughout the night while i sleep. I know weird habit but its sooo refreshing when you havent had anything to drink in hours. Trying to figure out how to get over it but I feel like Kel from Kenan and Kel "Who loves strawberry soda.. I do I do I do-ooo" lol.. Plus my liquids dont really quench my thirst because I can't gulp like i use to.. sipping barely takes the edge off.. welcome to the sleeved life!

You could try a strawberry protein drink maybe to help with the strawberry taste craving or I think there is a strawberry-kiwi crystal light. It won't help with missing the bubbly, but could help with the cravings to get a similar flavor.

Soda is the one and only thing that I really do miss. I was a big diet Dr. Pepper drinker. Really miss it, even more than beers..

I miss root beer! lol I totally understand never feeling like something has quenched your thirst!

I miss my vanilla Coke Zero SO VERY MUCH!!

Truth? Just typing that made my mouth Water. lol

I'm a coke addict...... Surgery didn't fix my brain ! but I can't drink any coke cause its way too sweet and carbonated to the point of pain. I wish I could drink some, but then again, it's part of what got me as heavy as I was. It's soooo hard to stop carbonated drinks! I swear, in 20!years, we'll figure out they were secretly filled with some sort of mind altering drug!

I've seen SF Crush Strawberry packets to add to water. My Dollar General carries them.
