I do know that my surgeon has forbidden any carbonated drinks period. I am not sure how other surgeons feel but mine says stay away cuz the carbonation can cause problems in the pouch, not only stretching it but causing damage in the early stages. I am an advid diet coke drinker...but I have made a life altering decision here, so why on earth would I do anything to sabotage my chance of living a thin life?? I know that whatever my surgeon tells me I am going to abide by....I want to be sucessful and thin :) I would be interested to know what others have been told tho :) Carolyn <!--more--> 9-23-02 Hi gang…about the aspartame thing…I am not sure if

I have noticed though that before surgery I loved sweet things, and since surgery I really dont care for them. Even sweetnlow is too much for my palate these days. Ive heard alot of post ops say the same thing, that their desire for certain things has gone away.<br><br>As for not eating until 1:00, I do the same thing most of the time. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat. Just ,ake sure that your getting your vitamins, your tums for calcium and as much protein as you can get down. I told my doctor that sometimes I just dont want to eat...he said to just do it logically. I havent had any problems with artificial
