I can drink beer or soda without any problems except one... it stretches our pouches!!! THAT is why we aren't supposed to drink it.

I enjoyed a few beers durning an overnight scrapbooking trip with my friends. A week later my esophogus and pouch were dialated. The doc said it was because of the carbonation. Mind you they were Miller 64s and I took about a half hour to drink each one! But they still cause a major problem.

And I am well over a year out!

Patti,

How did you find out about the dialation? Were you having problems?

I had my first beer after being 6 months out,

and I didn't have any trouble. I wanted the 2nd one, but was a good girl and stopped with the one.

Soda really causes me problems though.

I used to drink a 12 pack of soda a day,

and have only tried a sip or two since March 5, 2009 (surgery date).

My doctor said a "treat" once in a long time is okay. She doesn't expect me to be a prefect lapband client. It's just not human, in our society to not treat ourselves with food/drink once in a while.
