Yes, I know it is "forbidden" but I drink it and I like it.  60 calories of sheer heaven.

So shoot me.

I was never forbidden to drink soda.

Having said that I don't do so every day. But when I have the urge, I have a Pepsi Max. Soda is hard to drink though (at least for me). You take a small sip and your pouch gets full of gas. But sometimes the urge is overwhelming so I go for it.

Thankfully I have a fairly progressive surgeon. He's not anti-soda (although he does believe it should be heavily moderated). He's not anti-anything really. He encourages us to have a healthy relationship with all foods/drinks. Even treats.

My doctor says no to carbonated drinks but I just can't get on board.  His explanation of stretching my pouch is counter-intuitive. It will be our little secret.  I do take small sips.  It takes me most of the day to get one down but it is my one indulgence (well that and coffee).  Otherwise I treat my pouch with kindness.

Soda CANNOT STRETCH YOUR POUCH.

I was a Tab girl pre-surgery.  Believe me when I say that if it wasn't so uncomfortable, I'd still have my 1 per day Tab.  But I cannot.  A few sips of soda or champagne, and I'm like a Macy's Day float.....it is very uncomfortable ****il I belch like a trucker, and that is soooo ladylike!).

I can drink beer though....bubbles must be different.

No regain and I can burp like a trucker.

It is a myth that carbonation will stretch the pouch.
