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.

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! :P

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 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.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
