Can i just have one here and there or is this a total no no?

I thought stretching was a big concern with pop.

it my opinion that isn't true. I drink 2-3 12oz sparkling waters everyday. I'm 19 months post op and have good restriction and have maintained my goal weight within 5 pounds for more than a year now.

Sleeve of steel when were you able to drink a few beers? Iam not a big drinker any more but I do like to have a few when iam at the beach

When did you start drinking sparkling waters (how far post op)? I really miss Le Croix and Pellegrino with lime. Used to drink a good amount of diet Coke, too, although I don't miss that at all. Thanks!

Regular Coke or diet? Just curious.

I waited 5-6 months or so. It's worth the wait. I only drank a half at first. :-)

that's exactly what I drink. I waited 3-4 months I think. Started slowly. Drinking anything after 6 months is exactly the same as pre-op for me. Love my sparking water!!!

Thank you, Sleeve of Steel! Something to look forward to.

I don't buy the whole soda or beer stretches the stomach thing either. It just doesn't make any sense to me. I drink soda and beer and at four years out my stomach is still very tiny.

i can only tol. very little( 3 sips?, but i do so enjoy it, and it helps me burp!

I am 7 mos out and down 115 lbs. 80 more to I but I am also 6 mos pregnant. I have a couple sips of fizzy drinks every now and then but the carbonation makes me feel so yucky it's not very often.

My doc told me it isn't the risk of stretching the sleeve. It is the sugar and calories. Pepsi max or dr pepper 10 maybe?

I agree. I can't tolerate artificial sweetners so I work the extra cals in but cutting back elsewhere or I am more active.

You don't HAVE to do anything but there are obviously pros and cons to each choice we make. I choose not to have coke. Those are calories I'd rather have for something else and the carbonation KILLS ME.
