Soda

How soon before anyone tried drinking a little bit of soda?

My recomendation is to give it up while now. There is so many bad things about soda even if it's diet. I found this article that I found very interesting.

My dr cleared me for diet soda @5 weeks

I am not a soda drinker but I had a rum and coke ( I know...bad me!) at 10 weeks and only had one and there wasnt really that much soda in it...it was strong!

I had a sip of my hubby's soda, it was just a small sip (I'm almost 3 months out) and while it didn't hurt or anything it certainly didn't taste right. I used to LOVE soda, but it just tasted too syrupy tasting. Entirely too sweet. I have been craving seltzer Water like crazy though, and am still coming to terms with probably never drinking it again.

Lucky for me my therapist scared me outta soda back in February. Don't even do diet.... Too many cancer risks involved with the acids and all. I crave it occasionally but the most I'll do is smell it! LOL

I was a huge diet coke addict. I tried at 4wks and couldn't do it. I am 5 months post op and still can't drink soda or anything with carbonation. Just depends on the person.

Did it hurt your stomach at all going down? Only reason I even posted this question was because I'll be celebrating my birthday this upcoming weekend, and I'd like to have a cocktail. My drink of choice is rum & coke also. I'm only 3 weeks post op, and don't ever get the urge to drink soda straight. Never really did before either. I just don't want to get all dolled up, go out, just to feel terrible after my first few sips of a cocktail. Just curious.

I am allowed to drink flat diet soda, goes down fine. Never tried carbonated. I'm only two weeks post op, I think I would be too scared to try carbonated soda and alcohol so early. The stomach takes so long to heal. I would be afraid Of getting ill. I would be careful and not push it.

I have been drinking multiple carbonated beverages a day since 2.5 months out. (1 diet pop and 2 sparkling waters) I made goal, didn't stretch my stomach contrary to some people's beliefs on this forum!!!
