When can we have diet soda again?

I would ask your Nut. But all I can think about is what happens when you shake soda then open it. I was told the same thing can happen in that small pouch causing it to expand. Same reason you shouldn't eat bread products that haven't been toasted, because yeast expands the pouch. But each doctor is different.

I'm allowed untoasted bread products, I'll let someone else tackle the carbonation myth.

Diet soda is full of chemicals and does absolutely nothing for your body. Why would you work ago hard to get healthy and then pollute you're body with that junk...just because its zero calories doesn't mean its not junk. Caffeine will dehydrate you and the bubbles will harm your pouch. I think its just a stupid unnecessary addiction that we should all simply avoid. Fill your body with goods things, make every bite and every sip count!

I was a diet pepsi lover and drank 6-8 cans a day. It was difficult to stop but after surgery I did not have any, about a year post op I had a sip and it tasted like all chemicals !!! I have a small glass of soda every once in a while to remind me of how awful that crap is - LOL.

I have to agree with BB. I was dying for a sip of a fountain diet Pepsi. When I tasted it, I actually don't like the flavor anymore.

I was a diet pepsi addict.i still have the occasional flat glass, but its not the same...skip it.

I had a coke zero last nite a felt fine. Just took tiny sips of it. I never really drank mich soda before but just wantes something different other than crystal light or water..Thanks all for your advice
