Now you shouldn't, it's carbonated and will definitely give you gas. It will also give you pains in your stomach. Not a good feeling ... Trust me :(

I was told if you going to drink a soda you should let it go flat, which kind of defeats the purpose of drinking a soda. ;)

No, not that I know of. Your stomach is so small that the air bubbles in pop can really cause some serious pain. Sorry I didn't give good news.

Not sleeved myself but from my research (lol) I've heard it really depends on what you can handle. Some ppl/doctors say no, never. Some say later on and wait 6months, year, whatever..Then i've heard some people lose their desire for it...so....I would get your docs advice and maybe a after some time give one a try..to see if you still like it. thats what i was gonna do lol I love muh soda! lol :D

The carbonation can be uncomfortable. I have poured it into a glass and let it go flat some and that seems ok, but that wasn't until recently. I am over 8 months out.

Pop is not a dear friend hun...trust me....it wreaks havoc on your system...whether sugar free or not.....it is just artificial color and sugar.....It takes several glasses of Water to reverse the affects 1 glass of pop has on your system..Not a true friend...not at all.....

I've had some on two occasions (I’m not quite four months out) and I didn't really have any issues with it, but I had to drink it very slowly and frankly it just wasn't the same. It's kind of lost its appeal to me now.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
