Can I eat fried fish?

I am 8wks out and I am really missing fried catfish.  Has anyone eaten fried stuff at 8wks?  And, can I ever drink diet pepsi again?

Hey girl, I am pretty sure no fried foods anymore (atleast that is from my dr.'s office) and no more carbonated drinks. The carbonation expands your pouch and might make it stretch out. You will risk your pouch tearing, gas, and you could die. That is from my pre-op class.

Yelp... That pretty much sums it up on the fried food and sodas! Sorry Sharlenew.....8 weeks out is pretty soon for alot of things....I would wait till I was farther out if I was going to push my luck with anything....God Bless..Tammy
