Fluids questions

I know I knew the answers to these once-upon-a-time, but they seem to have fled my brain.

Could somebody please help me understand:

1. why diet pop is contraindicated post-RNY?
2. why taking fluids with foods and 30 mts after eating is contraindicated?

I need a refresher!

Thanks much,
Deborah.

Sometimes understanding why we have rules makes it easier to follow them, I think.  I have both posted about both of these on my OH Profile.

Thank you SO MUCH for this Pam. Your explanations are excellent, and you're absolutely right, "understanding" is the key to acceptance. I've bookmarked your profile too; it's SO informative.

Thanks again!
