I sit here actually sipping on a Diet Coke as I read this...
My first "straight" coke since my surgery. But I've had it for 30 minutes already and have only sipped maybe 2 ounces or so.
I have only had coke two other times, both so watered down, they could no longer be called coke.
I definately don't plan on drinking a coke everyday, or even every month...I just had a taste for one today
Edited to say I didn't have lap-band, but all of us WLS should put our two cents in
