Now & then have a taste for diet root beer, but let it go flat over night. Nancy Polerecky October 7, 2010 Please let me know the reason that we shouldn’t drink soda. Nancy49 October 13, 2010 I like the idea of asking questions. Will someone please answer me. admin October 17, 2010 Bariatric surgeons advise against patients drinking sodas for a number of reasons. For one, the non-diet versions contain high amounts of sugar, which can cause dumping for GBP patients and increases caloric intake for everyone. The carbonation in sodas can also cause a build-up of gases in the stomach, which can be extremely uncomfortable for weight loss surgery patients (regardless of whether you had a band, bypass, sleeve, etc.). Dr. David Provost, a WLS Channel faculty advisor and one of the nation’s leading bariatric surgeons, has a great article about Life After Soda Pop on his website here: http://www.provostbariatrics.com/success-after-weight-loss-surgery/weight-loss-surgery-success-life-after-carbonated-drinks/ Nancy Polerecky October 26, 2010 Admin.

Losing weight is fun.
