I am curious to know who drinks soda. I have discovered that the answer to this question depends on who you ask. I had lap band surgery on Spet 27th, 2006, and have not had soda since Sept. 26th, 2006. Personally I am doing well, but i still have cravings of a nice ice cold Diet Dr. Pepper. My surgeon told me not to drink pop, but my followup Dr. here in the states told me that there have not been any conclusive studies done that say drinking a diet pop will cause any negative effects on lap band patients. Does anyone have any advice to offer? Do you drink soda? If you do, how much? Or did your Dr. tell you not to drink soda? I look forward to reading the replys!
