Have any of u Try soda even tho the doc said u can't drink it ever again and how u felt ....

I still drink soda but I do the following. I stir the soda very quickly, releasing the carbonization from the sides until the drink is flat. Ice helps release the CO2. I also open cans of soda and stick them in the refrigerator for a day or so until they go flat. But of course, always diet soda. I don't want the empty calories.

I tried sodas but have not wanted them i not into flat sodas. But i buy the Mio squeeses they tast like some sodas try that

But we all know you don't drink soda for the taste, you drink it for that sweeeet carbonation burn! You're so defeating the purpose!

I gave up soda when I had my band, for the first several years. Around yr 4 (IIRC) I allowed myself one every week or two (Fresca is the only soda I can stand). DH laughed at me b/c I bought a 12pk at it lasted 8 months. I freely drank soda while waiting for my revision. I don't really miss it. With my band I badly mised soda for several weeks, but just that burn, not the taste.

I am a horrible diet coke, diet pepsi addict and I am not even going to try it. I drink G2 gatorade low cal mixed half and half with water. Or I use mio drops to flavor my water. Will be using lemon juice now for flavor. I like the all natural.

I drink a diet coke daily ..... I have had no troubles and I am at goal less than 9 months out!!!

I recently had a bezoar( fiber blockage) taken out and the doctor told me soda would break up anything that's not digesting. I sip on soda every day (with no problem)to prevent that from happening again it's was a horrible couple months.
