I would not recommend it but check with your Team.

not allowed on mine either. I had to break the carbonation habit long before pre-op....

100% certainty I've never seen anyones here include soda of any kind.

Best bet to always check with your surgical team.

So I'm guessing that's a no! no worries I didn't think so

What is the reasoning of not having diet soda preop? If the object is to lose weight and shrink the liver, having 0 calorie diet soda isn't going to hurt that.

I drank the cowboy shyt outa some Diet Mtn. Dews during my pre-op with the approval of my surgeon.......well...perhaps I drank a few more than he allowed. Those and gallons of Water each day in between my 3-4 Protein shakes and all was well in my world.

Check with your surgeon.

Also, at my 6 month post-op appointment, he also told me I could have Diet Dews again if my sleeve tolerated them. That was 3+ weeks ago and I've yet to try one.

coffee, water and the occasional adult beverage is all I care to drink.

I was allowed to drink anything that was low/no calorie and specifically was told it was okay to have diet soda.
