My understanding is that carbonated drinks can stretch the stomach, (RNY or normal) allowing for more food intake, and that is why it's the most popular drink in restaurants and such.
I cannot see harm in having a little here and there. But I wouldn't make it a habit.
Secondly, I would monitor your weight as you have any carbonated beverages to see if it effects you or not. Everyone is different and it might not effect your weight at all, but it might be the opposite.
From all the 'diets' out there and Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil suggestions, their first comment in loosing weight is always to eliminate pop/soda and other carbonated beverages.

I know someone who had the surgery in 1998 and has had carbonated beverages since. Now, they are eating normal sized portions like everyone else (stomach streched), and the understanding is that it was because of the carbonated beverages.
I'm not saying that it will definitely stretch, but it's a possibility. I wouldn't discount it.
Secondly, this first hand experience is based on someone who drank and still drinks carbonated beverages daily.
If it's a once in a while sort of thing, I can't see it doing anything.

Certainly you should avoid carbonated drinks if you think they will stretch your pouch in some way.
Simple anatomy and physiology says they cannot stretch the pouch, since there is an opening at either end of it. I do discount the suggestion because it's just physically impossible.
However, we all have to make our own choices.
