No more Diet Coke
I decided before having surgery, that if I couldn't chew gum or drink another Diet Coke, that that was okay for me and I could live with those things taken away.
When I found out from Kelly that we could chew gum but that we have to be careful to not swallow it, I was ecstatic! 
As far as my daily Diet Coke, I have not had one since the day before my surgery. I truly miss the way the carbonation feels in my mouth mainly...not the taste. So, I have adapted to not drinking my daily Diet Coke. I miss it, but it's so not worth it. I prefer drinking my iced tea that has no carbonation and that won't effect my pouch. Everyone has their feelings about this, but I adopt the one Dr. Callery has instructed.
Thank you Mary for that article. It really confirmed that I am doing the right thing by not having carbonation.
