Salad, Cherries, and Diet Coke - ThinnerTimes

For the very first time in my life I am craving healthy food.

I would love some salad, cherries, and diet coke. I know the salad has to wait until 3 months post-op, and I know the cherries will have to wait until about 8 weeks post-op, but the diet coke...I know carbonation is bad, but I seem to be having a momentary lapse of knowledge and can't remember why it is bad? I'm not going to have any, I am just wondering why I can't have it later on.

carbonation will cause pain for many post ops.. and many believe that it will stretch the pouch, though there is conflicting advice on that one.
