I gave them up before my lap band in 2008. They are on the NO list from my dr & I still don't have sodas. I miss them very rarely. I do have a sip of punch at weddings & showers when I attend those. The carbonation interferes with your calcium absorption. Carbon dioxide causes slow uptake of calcium when consumed close together.

I drink a diet soda more days than not, and don't have any trouble as long as I either pour it over ice or let it sit for a couple of minutes to let some of the carbonation disperse. I have, however, had a couple of occasions where I had more than one within a couple of hours and I did have some gas, so perhaps you need to just drink less at one sitting.
