A question about carbonated beverages...

I looked through the library, but wanted to get an updated view about sodas. I am almost 6 months post-op and have tried my first soda since surgery. I had no problem with it as I drank it slowly. By the way, it ws a regular Mt. Dew (I just assume not drinking any at all if it has to be diet). Anyways, how harmful would it be for me to have a soda every few days/once a week? I don't dump so the sugar is not a problem, unless you all think it could hurt me and/or my weight loss. I know some are told that the carbonation can stretch our pouches, but I hear others say thats a myth. I can live without soft drinks, but it would nice to be able to drink one here and there when out and about....Thanks for your responses!....Karen (lap rny- 09/20/02- down 115 pounds)
