Ask yourself that question. A) vomiting is not something that any doctor in the US recommends for anything (do any in the world? I don't think so...ok if you drink poison maybe). and is overeating a goal we should strive for????

Interesting, I was told no soda no more.

I don't know how my surgeon feels about soda but I've never liked soda or any kind of sugary drink unless it was Cranberry and vodka. Other than that I hate the fizz and how dehydrated drinks make me feel. My friends in the past would laugh at me because I would always order a Water with my meal instead of the standard soda. It's pretty rare that I would ever drink a soda in the past and I never finished a whole one. My own personal belief is everything in moderation

I was told no soda, too. Unless of course it's gone completely flat, but why bother. One girl I know had bypass 10+ years ago and started drinking soda heavily again, then gained back the weight and could eat bigger portions. We all assumed she stretched her pouch (even her surgeon) and just needed a revision, but when they did a scan it turns out she actually dilated her esophagus. It can be surgically corrected, but it's risky and not hopeful that insurance will cover it.

My surgeon said no soda as well. But soda is my gateway drug. I used to drink a 12 pack of Mountain Dew a day.no more for me ever. Even if doc says ok.

My nut and doc said its fine every now and then and it doesn't stretch the stomach. According to my doc its almost impossible to stretch the sleeve unless you overeat heavily for 6+ months. All docs are different
