I am 51/2 months post op and I had the same thing, and it turned out to be a gastric ulcer a good size one. I am on carafat an protonix and it is helping but the doctor said it could take up to a year to heal. As for the soda I have had maybe a sip hear and there but I have no desire for it anymore I just drink water or iced tea. They say afer 6 months you can have it but some people drink it at 3 months.
