Soda yes? No?

They said no soda but I see some of the commenters saying they had a diet coke? So does anyone drink diet soda's?

    Oh no no no... Ive been under the knife to lose this weight and soda was "part" of the reason I got in this situation.

  • I was told no soda, no beer, no anything with gas!

  • The carbonation can stretch your pouch. Be very careful drinking soda.

No soda , huge coke drinker and I quit a month before my surgery and won't go back ... It's not worth it, no nutritional factors can come from it .

Haven't been a big soda drinker for years, but once in a great while I need something different. I've had it 3 times since surgery and honestly drank maybe half...if that...and threw the rest out.

I was a huge diet pepsi addict... I quit cold turkey after surgery' date=' I am a year+ post op and I have a diet soda every once in a while but I don't miss it at all. Actually it tastes very chemically now.[/quote']

It is chemicals. The acid will destroy tooth enamel (a fact provided by the two biology majors in the family) it is completely artificial, and has zero nutrition. If you MUST have a carbonated treat, try mixing two parts seltzer with one part grape juice (or whatever your favorite juice is). But it's definitely not a good idea early on, if at all.

Poor soda on the gunk that builds up on a car battery and see what it does. I saw that as a teen and haven't drank it since.

No, No and No.

I was told no carbonation at all.
