I do seltzer with lemon - and that is good for me. But I know it's not for everyone.

Ice cold water with lemon.
I've never been a big soda drinker, but some regular coke with ice has been such a craving and coke slurpees.

Re: I'm off of soda, and want something to drink besides water that tastes like soda lol...
I like sprite or ginger ale with some juice in it. I pick up a small bottle of pomegranate or cranberry raspberry juice and I mix them in. I tend to pick up the organic juices...I feel that they are 'thicker' (I don't even know if that makes sense  ), so when adding it into the soda it isn't too watery. It also makes a good cover when you are still hiding that you aren't drinking and not telling people. I used to drink cranberry, sprite and vodka...so all this does is drop out the vodka.

Re: I'm off of soda, and want something to drink besides water that tastes like soda lol...
I used to be a huge Diet Coke drinker (like 4 or 5 a day - at a minimum). Opted to kick the aspartame at the same time that I kicked the DC. I now drink water with the splenda-sweetened flavor packets (lemonade, fruit juice, etc.), seltzer or an iced tea a day.
Not even close to a good ole' DC - but it's worked somewhat painlessly so far.
Also - Sierra Mist has a new diet a;; natural version. I didn't like it myself (too sweet) - but you may like it.

Re: I'm off of soda, and want something to drink besides water that tastes like soda lol...
well i *think* there are certain sodas that are ok...
if we go out to eat i have been getting seltzer or sprite
i have also been sipping ginger ale when i feel queasy...
i think orange soda is ok too...
i was a HUGE diet coke drinker but quit drinking it before i got pregnant. now i won't drink soda with caffeine...
i would stick to seltzer but i need the ginger ale when i am queasy - it actually helps (i thought it was a wives tale but it really helps!)

I have switched to lemon flavored seltzer. When I really feel like soda I will get a gus's or other natural soda or oddly, root beer.

Flavored seltzers are good on their own, but sometimes I add seltzer to juice to try and cut the calories and sugar. My favorites are lemonade with regular seltzer and pomogranate juice with lime seltzer.

Re: I'm off of soda, and want something to drink besides water that tastes like soda lol...
I didnt follow any specific rules or guidelines Im a everything in moderation person. BUT there was a month period during my second trimester when all I could drink was coke. It was caffeine free but its the only think my stomach could handle. Im a huge water drinker but everytime I drank it everything I ate would come right back up. So for that month or so thats all I drank. Now im 31 weeks and thankfully I can drink water again (have for a while) but my point is try to stay away from the diet stuff but if you find something you can handle drink it because its important to get fluids in.

would you do just regular decaf non diet?
I'm not a soda drinker, so I don't know how you'd like it, but I love cranberry and seltzer.

I drink water, snapple or arizona iced tea, caffeine free root beer, orange soda, Dr. Pepper.
You can have soda just as long as it is not diet. You can have caffeine but only up to 200 mg per day.

I drink lemon seltzer...or I get regular seltzer and put lemon in it:) it's a great soda alternative. You get the bubbles but none of the sugar! Just make sure if you are buying the bottles you get sodium free ones :)

I drank regular soda throughout all of my pregnancies. It's probably why I packed on the pounds when I was pregnant.
