Hello, has anyone tried the Ice drinks? Its l like soda. Also the new ginger ale zero calories soda? Is it a bad idea?

Why is carbonated bad?

Well some doctors will tell you never to drink it again.. Some will say its ok after a certain amount of months.

Soda is a very hotly debated topic around here and there is usually lots of fighting going back an forth between the two camps.

It is thought by some that it will damage your stomach in the beginning (carbonation expanding in your stomach) and also that we don't have that much room anymore so why waste it on junk food??

Then there are people that believe everything in moderation...

Me? I don't know.. I know that it hurts some people to drink it and others drink a bit just fine..

I don't know what my doctors felt about it because I quit it over a year ago.

So I usually just tell the person asking, "ask your surgeon what he or she feels about it."

My surgeon said " it would be best to wait until my stomach regrew; just to be on the safe side!"

I am going to be 5mths po. I have had soda, but I can only have a sip bc of all the bubbles. It causes me some discomfort so I just take a good drink and I am completely satisfied. Even if I wanted to drink a whole 12oz can, I just can't anymore. I'm so glad.

Thank you all for the great advice. Im will a year on May 23 and had a sip of ginger ale. I could not drink much, but felt some satisfaction.

Down here, it's called coke.

Me: "what kind of coke do you have"

Waiter: "coke, sprite, dr. Pepper"

OMG GRINDERS.. not girders! and Drinking fountains are properly called Bubblers..... And clam chowder must never EVER EVER have tomatoes in it... Are you writing this down?

Autocorrect. I did type "grinders"... I often wonder about Apple and their idea of spellcheck.... Although, it just goes to show that spellcheck knows they're subs too! :-P
