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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
