I'm 7 weeks post op and was curious as to when diet soda is allowed for most? I don't have a drs apt until the end of sept so ill ask him then but I'm curious as to what others do if any at all.

Diet rite is what I was drinking before surgery a well. What I'm confused about is some drs including mine say no alcohol for a year. So is that meaning no beer just liquor?

I think all docs are different on alcohol too. My doc said that I was good to drink at my 8 week check up. But did warn that it was wasted calories and that many people told him that it effected them much quicker than prior to surgery. I don't eat or graze on nights out with friends anymore so it is a nice options to nurse a glass of wine.

Yeah, alcohol is ok, just beware that a little will go a long way! A drink that I like is club soda with a splash of cranberry juice and a twist of lime. You can add a little vodka to spice it up. It's pretty tasty and very low cal.

Club soda? How far out are you?

Oops, I misspoke. I don't know what I was thinking. Club soda is a no no.

Used to drink a ton of Diet Coke, especially at work. Now I don't even think about it. In some ways even the thought of putting that crap in my body upsets me. I drink Vitamin Water as a replacement. It has a host of vitamins and electrolytes. As far as alcohol is concerned Ill'll have a vodka with ice instead of mixed with club soda, also I love a good scotch, neat.
