Stop overannalyzing!

As long as it doesn't fill you up so that youre NOT eating enough, anything is ok.

just EAT, drinking will fill you up, if youre drinking soda at least make it regular, NOT diet but EAT MORE, drinking sodas+coffee is what ppl do to fill up+lose weight.

hey - i know where you were coming from:-) it's okay to drink,but limit the CAFFEINATED cokes to just a few  day ONLY BECAUSE as you recover you want to stay hydrated and let your kidneys heal. Other than that, so long as your drinking plenty of other fluids, especially water, too, and EATING (water is in food, too!), then you're okay. I drink caffeine - I need it in the early morning and a bit of soda in the afternoon. If you get your kidneys checked and there's a problem they may say something about it only because kidney damage is comon in prolonged anorexia. But if you feel okay and you are peeing normally (not dehydrated) then you're good to go!

I agree with agru that if you're going to drink soda, at least drink regular and not diet. I would worry about too much soda making you feel full and the caffeine giving you an energy buzz that you would be much better off getting from food.

But the soda won't wreck your body. Hope you're having a good day Helen! Thinking of you
