Actually you might have read something like this:

This chick is not a doctor and none of her information is taken from studies of kidney donors. In fact, her information is taken from websites that have the same guidelines for people with both healthy kidneys and don't even discuss having one kidney.
The remaining kidney will enlarge and do more work than it did previously to the donation.
You can still drink soda, but if you are a hardcore soda drinker you should consider not donating and if you are a hardcore soda drinker with diabetic history in your family you should consider the fact that you are most likely going to need a kidney and stop drinking soda as a premium choice for refreshment. Or as my mom says, "Grow the fuck up!"
You don't need to change your diet provided you eat a regular diet. If you are eating a fad diet it is just common sense that you shouldn't be in the first place, and instead, should be making lifestyle changes, such as increased exercise.
Aspirin taken in the correct dosage will not damage your kidney.
