Has anyone been able to drink diet cokes. I have done a lot of looking and have found many different answer to this question.

it really depends what your doctor told you about carbonated beverages.

my doctor told me no carbonation or alcohol for 3 months post-op and i literally counted the days until i could have a diet pepsi!

i'm almost 3 years post-op and have had no problems drinking it but i only allow myself 20 ounces a day. when i do drink carbonation, i can feel it traveling thru my band and it does make a loud gurgling sound almost like a stomach growls when its hungry.

I never was a diet soda fan because the sugars gave me terrible headaches but I do like a coke once in a while. I have been craving them alot lately and since I am doing so well I give in to cravings once in a while.

I had about 2 oz of coke before dinner on Christmas when everyone else was having hor-dourves. I poured the soda and stirred it as much as I could to take out some carbonation. I then took sips and just let the flavor fill my mouth before swallowing.

It went down great with no burping after and I was able to enjoy my coke.

I may even have 4 oz for New Years Eve!

At 2 yrs out I thought I was safe to drink some....NO WAY!!!! I was in agony because the bubbles couldn't go down or up and out!!! If you don't have much restriction and stir most of the bubbles out, you might be OK....I really miss Diet Coke a whole lot.
