I always feel hungry but try not to over eat, my weight last time on dialysis was 57.7, so I figured I could get away with drinking heaps of water while on dialysis. I always have snacks with me as the sandwich is never enough. I sometimes drink coke while on dialysis and eat chocolate.

Towards the end of my four-hour dialysis run, I get really hungry but not thirsty. Not sure how true but one of my techs said it is because all the fluid in your stomach has been removed so... Yes dark soda (besides most root beers) are a no-no along with chocolate but not everyone obeys the rules and/or if your phosphorus is low you can occasionally get an ok to treat yourself. (my dietician even said so)

Both root beers and orange sodas vary widely in content - I did a search and we made choices that fit with guidelines - it seems especially the flavored ones are inconsistent from one brand to another. We chose Diet Orange Sunkist - one with breakfast - and an occasional A&W Root beer float maybe once a week to keep numbers well within normal ranges.

I thought we were supposed to drink Crush orange, Sprite and A&W root beer Not ever dark soda or chocolate. It was hard but out of my life they went. I have lots of trouble with potassium and phosphorous. Where I mess up is barbeque, tamales, and fruits, I have limited my self to mostly Sea food. We will see if it helps.
