Does anyone know the reason we have told to avoid soda? I haven't experienced any discomfort when i do drink it, aso i was wondering if there was some sort of medical reason the doctors have warned us off it? Please help?

Tina, if you do a search on the forum for soda, you will several threads that address this issue. Hope that helps. :-)

Just wondering did your Dr tell you not to drink it as alot if the other Aussies have not been warned off it. My dr said diet was fine to drink.

soda makes me burp - it also has a lot of sugar right? even the diet ones are bad

The main reason for not drinking carbonated beverages is that it will expand your stomach...which that is what the band is trying to stop!
