At my two week appt my Dr said pop was aloud. As long as its diet. He said carbonation won't stretch my stomach. I thought this was pretty cool incase I occasionally drink diet pop.

That's cool, my doc said the reason they don't allow soda not even the diet, because it raises the insulin levels and that in turn slows down the weight loss process..

My surgeon says we can have diet soda also, but he suggests not having it near mealtime because the carbonation fills our pouch with air instead of the protein and nutrients we need. I have had two diet sodas since my surgery and it seemed to be fine. But I could tell there was a feeling of fullness that it created.

That makes me feel much better. I have started back drinking it. Only about half of one a day but its still becoming a habit again.

I tried one that was mostly flat and just the little bit of carbonation made me very uncomfortable so it's a no go for me. Today I had a coke zero at my sons football game and let it go completely flat and was fine.

I've tried diet soda, but only a few sips. It did give me a full feeling, but no pain. I mostly do water and light lemonade

Tried sprite once it tasted horrible also tired a beer couldn't drink either

Haven't had a diet Pepsi in 8 weeks tryed diet ginger ale flat it was nasty. And no alcohol.

Yeah everyone is different. Because when I drank diet I didn't feel an discomfort. My stomach was just making noises. But I want to try and keep it to one a day, if that. I don't want to get lost in bad habits again.
