I think what you are going through is totally normal. My best advice is to seek couseling, maybe a someone who specializes in gbp. I would quit the diet coke today. We all have our addictions, better to stop now. I am a big coffee drinker. I went 4-6 week w/o it, then one day, I was brave enough to try it, and no problems. I drink one cup each morning. You would not want to be drinking diet coke, bad for pouch.
As far as the tube, before you wake up, the tube is out. This is major surgery! Nothing should be taken lightly.
As far as the vomiting, you probably will. I think for the most part we all do. It is trial and error with foods after gbp. One day chicken will be fine, the next day it will not stay down. You will need to become close with your pouch and learn what it likes and dislikes.
The truth is, some people do have bad problems after, and some do not, like me. I was totally willing to take that risk. You need to see if this is right for YOU!
Good luck,
