17 weeks pregnant. 1 year 2 months post op

I had a 20 ounce of diet orange soda today. Just really wanted the bubbles for some reason.

Did not make me sick. Did not make me uncomfortable.

I know we are not supposed to have carbonation and I'm scared I am goin down a bad road, but I just really want the damn soda...

Suggestions?

Anyone else have anything similar?

The orange crush Water flavorings are a life saver to me!

I buy them at Safeway grocery store. They taste exactly like real crush without the carbonation

Or sugar.

Are there other flavors? Sf?

That's the only one I've found.. Yes sugar free.

Sipping on one now

I found these at Target. I love the strawberry flavor. Walmart has new flavors under their Great Value brand. I've been stocking up for the big event.

Apparently they make grape crush too. I've just never found it. The ones I buy are powder but I just saw liquid drops on amazon.

I am 7 weeks post-op and recently treated myself to a sonic slush, I asked if they could make a diet dr pepper slush and they said it was simple and there was no carbonation. It was amazing, and really hit the spot.

Don't do it. Seriously.

Drinky calories and carbs are bad, bad, bad. I indulge in a small soda now and again but I have to be very, very careful not to make it a habit.

Some folks do fine with it. Carbonation isn't the issue. The issue is that you can mindlessly drink an extra eight hundred calories in a day if you don't pay attention and if it becomes a habit.

I fully embrace the idea of moderation and not denying ourselves foods we really enjoy. But I also embrace sensibility and if you can't have just one soda once in a while I'd stay away from it completely. It's a trigger food for me and once I have it, I want it every day. If I bring a six pack into the house I'm going to drink one a day until they're all gone, and once they're gone I am going to feel a little sad that they're gone and want to buy more.

Find a substitute that isn't filled with intentionally addictive substances.

Good luck,

So true. I have my place filled with various low caloric drink mixes. The variety is fun.

Someone on here recommended the sugar-free Sodastream flavors (they're sold at Walmart, Target, etc) to be mixed with water, not using carbonation. I tried the sugar-free root beer and sugar-free pink grapefruit. They're really good and a nice change...I bought the sugar-free/caffeine-free cola, but haven't tried that yet.
