I know this sounds crazy but I was seriously addicted to Diet Coke drinking around 6 cans a day. I have been weening myself off it for a week and a half now and yesterday was my first whole day without it. I heard that drinking soda while banded can cause slippage, pouch expansion, and other complications. Hope I can stick to abstaining from it :wacko:

I was addicted too. I could easily drink 10-12 a day! I could go months without drinking Water...only diet coke. I actually went cold Turkey 2 weeks prior to my surgery. It was hard and I drink a cup of coffee a day now. I don't miss it...the only time I crave it is if I am REALLY thirsty and my husband drinks it or if he gets it as a fountain drink. I quit for the same reasons...I didn't want to stretch my little pouch.

Good luck..you can do it!

Anything with carbination is awful for your band but not having somethin you love ever sucks.. My band consultant said if you really want one occasionally make it flat then sip it.. Its calorie free better then sluggin a high calorie drink in its place.. And believe me a totally flat pop is quite good if you havent had one in a while

My husband drinks coke so I am hoping I won't be too tempted.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
