Tammy483 162 Posted September 22, 2012 At my two week appt my Dr said pop was aloud. As long as its diet. He said carbonation won't stretch my stomach. I thought this was pretty cool incase I occasionally drink diet pop. That's cool, my doc said the reason they don't allow soda not even the diet, because it raises the insulin levels and that in turn slows down the weight loss process..

MsCook 38 Posted September 22, 2012 My surgeon says we can have diet soda also, but he suggests not having it near mealtime because the carbonation fills our pouch with air instead of the Protein and nutrients we need. I have had two diet sodas since my surgery and it seemed to be fine. But I could tell there was a feeling of fullness that it created. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jldeville 61 Posted September 22, 2012 That makes me feel much better. I have started back drinking it. Only about half of one a day but its still becoming a habit again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenneliza 257 Posted September 23, 2012 I tried one that was mostly flat and just the little bit of carbonation made me very uncomfortable so it's a no go for me. Today I had a coke zero at my sons football game and let it go completely flat and was fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmarie317 24 Posted September 23, 2012 Yeah everyone is different. Because when I drank diet I didn't feel an discomfort. My stomach was just making noises. But I want to try and keep it to one a day, if that. I don't want to get lost in bad habits again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
