Coffee and soda questions?

Prior to surgery (I am 6 weeks post op) I lived on Coke and Starbucks vanilla frappuccinos. I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to make a vanilla frap that would be within the boundaries as far as sugars and carbs go - I'm going crazy without them! And soda - some people start drinking them soon after surgery, others say to wait for at least six months. My post op instructions say that I can have sparkling water now, so why not soda? If carbonation is the issue, I don't see what the difference is. I crave soda like mad sometimes, and I'm just not sure if I should be drinking it or not. Mostly I have Crystal Lite lemonade - it gives me heartburn, but I can't find anything else to drink (I can barely tolerate water) that doesn't make me feel sick. Any input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
