    I'll never try it bc it's not worth stretching. I was thinking about that soda stream concentrate stuff and just trying it in ice water...

Let me know how it works. I was thinking about it, too.

I am 14 wks post op and have had a small glass of soda, diet of course - the only soda I drank. Nothing happened. My doctor's office said absolutely NO SODA but I was dying to try it. I miss drinking soda but am OK with ice tea, waters, etc.

My doctor said nothing carbonated or with caffeine for 3 weeks. I tried a decaf coffee yesterday with soy milk and I couldn't drink it it made my stomach hurt :( so I might try again next week!

Really????!!!!! You're the FIRST person to tell me their dr okayed soda at all.

My dr said no caffeine to carbonation. I miss drinking from a straw

My doctor said no soda ever again :(. It's worth giving up for the surgery though :)

Was told no soda pop. The carbonation is bad juju. I missed it was first now Im ok just smelling it .. hahahaha

My doctor told me I can have soda after 6 weeks. There is no proven evidence that it stretches the pouch. I've researched it. The reason they don't want to drink pop is because it makes you crave sweets. I can't wait to have a diet pepsi!

My doctor said no soda ever, but if I had to it had to be flat. But I stopped drinking soda when I started the classes to get a referral to see surgeon. I kinda miss it but I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Starbucks Passion tea so I sip on that all day:)

I used to have a pop addiction where I would drink a few cans of Coke a day. I gave it up in January when I started the pre op program. I haven't has pop since then.

Now that I'm post op I don't plan to ever have it again. One I don't want to deal with the possible side effects and two I didn't do this my body to get back into my addictions again. I know that one sip would turn into a can and then it would go down hill from there. However this is just my personal choice because I know where I came from and I never want to go back there again.
