Flat Sodas

[PeacockMama 119]

We can't have carbonation bc of the gas bubbles right? so can we open a drink, say a diet coke, and let it go flat before we drink it? Not all the time, but once in a while if I have a soda craving tht wont go away. Im pre surgery and I am just trying to think of my options.

Some people do it that way, some people drink fountain soda only thinking it has less bubles, some drink full on carbonated, some skip it all together.

Like John said, everyone seems to have varied advice on this.

I got told that on occasion it isn't an issue. But if I have a carbonated drink or a beer to have it out of a glass not a can or a bottle.

DISCLAIMER: This is the advice I received and follow. I'm not recommending anyone else follow it. Please don't jump on me, or tell me I'll get a leak

I love soda. One of the first things I asked my NUT and dr was if I could have soda again afterwards. My NUT said its bad for you and not to have it again, but my dr said if I wait till about 3-4 months out and drink it flat I could. Personally I love soda, but not flat, so I will go without I guess.

Laura, you're so bad. Now I want wine.

OP - I can't imagine drinking soda flat. The carbonation is what makes it good! Maybe you can find some other drink to treat yourself with? I'm pre-op as well and my surgeon said my sleeve will dictate whether or not I can have a soda. His preference is that I don't, because there is nothing good for you in a soda, but if I want one, I need to wait at least 3-4 months. Then my sleeve will tell me whether it was a good idea or not.

I'm weaning myself off of caffeine and carbonation pre-surgery. I'm attacking caffeine first and have transitioned to flavored sparkling Water. In a couple of weeks I plan on ditching that altogether too. I'm not having a food funeral, I'm having a bubbly funeral. *sniff*

I caved in and drank a Diet SunDrop flat yesterday. It was delicious...but I liked flat SunDrop before surgery, so I'm a bit weird. I didn't have a problem with it, but everyone is different.

I remember once on night work we had to transport a 15 year old girl home. She was blind drunk and had thrown up on herself.

She was wearing a T Shirt that said "Fruity Lexia makes you Sexier"
