For those of you who are avid soda pop drinkers, do you miss it? I was told during my consulataion that if you drink soda after lap band your stomach can explode. I'm sure there is a very small chance of this happening but I wouldn't ever risk it. My favorite food is diet pepsi. I only let myself have it as an occasional treat but I am going to be sad to give it up!

Yes I do sometimes. I was a very avid soda drinker. Should have belong to CA (Coke Anamonis (ms)). lol.... However, I have not had one since August 08. I do miss it sometimes, but now it is better. I HATE Water and use a water flavoring in my water. I am doing okay. I have had three very small sips of coke and it was sooooooo good.

I was advised by my doctor to not drink carboninated drinks of any kind.

I miss it, but I don't have to have it now.

YES I MISS IT!!!! I love COKE. I go as long as I can without one, but eventually give in and have one, and then beat myself up for it. I haven't had any problems doing this except for the obvious, it will slow down the weight loss progress.

I miss beer. I didn't drink it very often, but I enjoyed it when I had it. And I miss Braum's limeades and the occasional ginger ale. But I haven't had any of those things since June 2008, and it hasn't been too horrible. But I've always enjoyed drinking plain water, too.
