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/ Bariatric surgeons advise against patients drinking sodas for a number of reasons.

I take a lot of meds and of course with water. Had to wait 1/2 hr before I ate. Wasn't doing that. I was nauseous a long time. Didn't think it applied to meds. Feeling great now. I was worried.
