Preparing for surgery

Im currently in the process of the 2 week liquid diet pre surgery. I know they must have told me but for the life of me I can remember. Why is it we are not to have carbonated drinks and/or caffiene BEFORE surgery. Im going nuts with a good cold diet coke. Also, did anyone cheat at all in the least with food? Even a tiny bit?
