and of course it is too late to call the doctor. I haven't had a soda since 9/3 - is it okay to have diet soda?

I would wait to talk to your doctor, but until then I would say...NO SODA!

Brenda I was told by my surgeon NO SODA FOREVER AFTER. I have not had a soda since August 28, 2005 the day before I was banded. I was in excrutiating withdrawls LOL but I made it through. I think of a Diet Pepsi Every now and then but I know that most of my weight loss is from not drinking the 2 liters a day I was drinking. Besides Diet sodas Have tons of sodium and they make you retain Fluid.< /p>

Every Dr. has different post op instructions. My Dr. stated in BIG BOLD letters NO CARBONATION EVER AGAIN!! So I listen to him.

My doctor never said anything to me about it but I did get a small glass (about maybe 3oz) and added ice to it and left it and it watered down some and went flat so I had the flavor but not the bubbles! And I did sip it...don't guzzle it down! Hope that helps a little but I would for sure ask your doc first.

My doc is also a "no carbonation ever again" kind of guy. I'd say don't attempt it. A soda is all chemicals and junk anyway. So not worth it.
