I have never been much of a soda drinker, but for the last two weeks or so, I've been dying for a soda! I'm one month post op, and way too scared of the bubbles to even attempt a sip, but what the heck?

Anyone else have weird cravings?

I have absolutely no problems

Actually, yes. I was never a soda drinker before surgery. I never craved the stuff and certainly never bought it. But since my surgery I have craved soda A LOT and I've given in to that craving a few times even though I know it's a big no-no for sleevers.

My weird craving has been for nacho chips. I can go years without eating them but suddenly just want to sit and suck on them and chew them into dust.

I never used to like nachos either, but now I've been craving them like crazy! If you want to suck on them you may be craving salt and so you could be dehydrated...

I will do a sip every once in a while, just a tiny sip!! I think it's more of a mental thing than anything. I used to love Diet Dr. Pepper...or even the store brands. I'm glad I don't need it anymore.

Whenever I have soda, I choose Pepsi Max because it has no sugar and very low sodium. It helps your soda craving without blowing your whole diet

I am almost 8 months out. I have a caffeine free diet coke once a week. If I get it through drive through, I leave it sit for awhile until the carbonation fizzles. At home I do not keep it cold. I pour it over ice and let it sit for awhile. I don't have a problem except maybe some reflux the next day. This is how I handle it. I was soda free though for the first 6 months.

I ha e never been a potato chip fan but I have been wanting some for days! Lol

Yeah, when I do give into my soda cravings, it's always diet and a can of soda can last me for hours with my tiny tummy. lol

you guys are making me feel a whole lot better!!!! I've been DYING for a soda. I'm just at 6wks post op and for sure it's a HUGE no-no...and the other thing that hit me recently...PRINGLES CHIPS!! I'm a chip person, but have moved away from the "chip habit" about 2yrs ago...I'm not a big soda drinker either, but I think it's due to not being able to have it, and my over whelming "need" to belch after eating to rid the GI of excess air...i've not had a sip of soda or not one potato chip (or cheeto cheese puff)

P.S. I would choose PEPSI MAX if I could have soda (or PEPSI NEXT)

I was a dr pepper junkie. And I have gone without for 2 months and 2 weeks exactly. Lord help me. However my current gotta have is peanut butter frozen yogurt?! I want some so bad! I think I'm going to work it in one day this week.

I was a Dr Pepper and sweet eater before surgery. Since surgery I have found myself eating peanut butter, but only peter pan honey roasted smooth. I didnt eat that before surgery. I have also found myself eating potato soup from Sam's Club it has chives in it. I never eat chives. I have always been a picky eater. Also fish I could eat fish all the time.

Where do you get PB Frozen Yogurt and is it sugar free?

They have it at a bunch of the yogurt shops and its definitely not sugar free

Last night I was so desperate for a cola, after months of Water. I mixed 2/3 diet cola with 1/3 water and ice. It was heaven!!!!!!! Most of the gas had gone out of it with just a slight tingle left, but not enough to cause stomach problems. I know it sounds bad, but give it a try. After months of no cola or gas your taste buds forget what it's really like and it tastes great.
