      I think it's meat and heavy stuff that does it

      My nut told me studies have shown patients that consistently eat a cup or more over 1-2 years can permanently stretch their pouch. It can happen, but it takes a lot of work. Good to know!!

    Not that I'm gonna do it' date=' but curious what carbonation would feel like a couple days post-op.....anyone wanna confess? (I hardly EVER drink sodas, this is one of the few things I'm not worried about giving up post-op, just wondering!)[/quote']

    I tried a little diet coke 5 months out it was horrible tasting!! And it was almost like a burning sensation in my pouch I could feel the carbonation!! Dont try it!
