I'm with you. Because of the gastroparesis I rarely feel any hunger. And
rarer still want any sweets. The diet soda I drink does not taste sweet.
Diet Pepsi tastes sweet to me. So for that reason I dislike it. I never
was much of a drinker but when I did drink the drinks had to be extra brut,
dry, bitter or sour. Otherwise I didn't like them.
