Perhaps you are drinking too fast. Remember to sip your liquids, you have a tiny pouch now.

You're only 16days out so you still have to be careful. I just finished 30days of full liquids.

Like NewDawn said, try drinking slower.

Best wishes!

Why are you getting blisters on your tongue? It sounds like you may have a more serious problem other than not knowing that you should not have carbonated beverages after being banded.

Did your doctor/surgeon/nutritionist review what your post-op diet progression should be?

Call your doctor. As far as I know, no one on LBT is a medical professional. Those blisters could be from reflux, an infection, or whatever, but we can't see them and we can't diagnose the cause or prescribe the treatment.

Let us know what your doctor says, OK?

From what I know some patients do not do to well with water..and am one of those patients....so for some reason I will only drink water when its real cold or after a meal n it works for me...

I just read this as "I'm getting blisters cuz I'm craving one" I thought that was some term I wasn't familiar with.

If you have blisters on your tongue, you need to call your Dr, pronto!

Agreed, until I saw the replies I actually glazed over that detail.

Hi an welcome Valerie. Ok so you have gotten some really ggod advice.

Blisters call Dr. Me for one I am not a real Water drinker either so I for one drink Crystal lite watered down. No matter what i drink it has to be room temp. Cold anything makes my pouch constrict.

Yes Florida even my wine lol.

Let us know about the blisters

I was sondering to about the blisters...where and why?

I know I'm gonna get blasted for this, but if your doc says soda is ok, go for it. My doc says its ok to sip on, better if you let it sit for a few minutes. I drink soda (diet) almost daily, I let it sit in a cup for 10-15 minutes prior to drinking and have had NO problems for a year. I don't gulp it and I do consciously pay attention and make sure I don't feel a bloated type feeling. I know several people who do the same & have had no problems with carbonated drinks. Follow your docs instructions though...if he says yes, then enjoy....if he says no, stay away!!

Problem is, she's only been banded since Nov 2. She needs to heal a little more.
