I have been sick all day and unable to eat ! My stomach is churning and I can't stay off the toilet ( I know TMI) but I am 7 months post op and haven't had a carbonated drink but I can't drink water or juice it makes me sick - the only thing that has seemed to work is Sprite - do y'all think it's okay to drink one

Crystal Light lemonade is my go-to for nausea. Hope you feel better. I'll never drink carbonated again. Why take the chance?

Thx I have only been drinking water and juice and having a little popsicle that I can never finished...I just thought I would be past the pain now.

Try flat Caffeine Free Diet Coke. It actually has some potassium in it...my kids pediatrician used to recommend that when they refused Pedialyte.

Beachmommy,

I woke up in recovery with that awful chest pressure and let them know immediately since I thought I might be having a heart attack. They told that was gas. It stayed with me for several days, ever-so-slightly better each day. It would come back every time I swallowed a sip of liquid and I realized I was swallowing air. I'm almost 4 weeks out and haven't felt it for quite awhile, but I do empathize with you - it was the most difficult part of my post-op period.

However, anything with chest pressure/pain, etc. should be run by your doctor!

You can drink it for an upset stomache at 7 months out. Of course everyone has a different view on it. I've done it when I've been sick and unable to stop the naseau.

I still have tremendous restriction.

That's my personal experience. I believe the choice is yours
