Hi,

My name is Christine and I'm 14 days post Roux en y and of course my Dr says no carbonated drinks but I've had friends who have had this surgery and they say if u really want soda then just dilute the Diet Coke with 1/2 Water and ice. At first this sounded like really bad advice but I've tried it for the last 48 hours and have hard no issues. I'd like to hear what u guys have to say on the subject!!!

My advise to u is simple follow ur drs advice and not a friends advice. Best of luck on ur journey but I hope u chang ur process of thinking it's very early to be sabotaging ur surgery already. Diet Coke has a lot of calories. Just remember where u want to be and what got u in the boat ur in. Best wishes.

sorry apparently it doesn't I haven't had soda in a very long time bc I follow guidelines still U get the point if ur told by ur dr not to drink it why ask for permission to from strangers on a public site. The drs give prescription diets for a reason. Thanks and have a wonderful day.

Just a warning, diet drinks of any kind, may not have any calories but the artificial sweeteners do make your brain crave for other things!! I know from firsthand experience!! Regained 8 pounds and constantly hungry until I realized that the only diet change I had made was adding Chrystal Light to my Water. I stopped doing that and the hunger went away!

Follow the docs orders.
