Proof that Carbonation Can Damage a Band

[Sherrie 0]

I loved diet coke before I was banded. Now, I tried an itsy bitsy little sip and my band hates it.

My band hates iced tea too.

So far, it only likes Water, coffee and juice (but I don't really like juice).

Everyone is different. Do what feels right. Why take chances? No one needs soda.

I was an avid diet soda drinker and always suspected it was giving me some headaches that seemed sent by the devil himself! I gave it up a few weeks ago for the surgery and POOF! the headaches are gone.

Just sharing this in light of the crap that is in diet that folks have mentioned many times in this thread. Who knows. There are a lot of variables here considering how much my eating habits have changed during this time. It could be attributed to a number of things. But I do wonder...

Aspertame and other artificial sweeteners are famous for causing headaches. I'm still off soda, but I'm getting weak!
