I have heard possible cons to drinking carbonation post sleeve. I tried a sip the other day- a VERY small sip- and thought I would die! The pain was so bad!!!

I'm not giving in to it, I just wonder why I'm craving it all of a sudden!! Weird? It's prob all in my head...lol

I'm told it has more caffeine than coffee by people who love it...mabe that's part of it. You could stir it until the fizz goes out, like some people do with ginger ale.

I can relate. I gave up my beloved Pellegrino Water. I absolutely adore it. I gave it up way back in February and have not looked back until....one day about a month ago I could not stop thinking about it, craving it and thinking about how much I loved it. Lasted all day long and I was not sure I was going to make it. Probably had it not been for the fact that I have not puked, slimed or otherwise since my March surgery, I may very well have caved in. Pretty sure it was the grace of God that got me through.

I was fine the next day but jeez, it was a close one!

Hang in there, you can do it! I was told it wouldn't be easy and sometimes its not.

I've been sleeved for almost 3 weeks now and I asked my doctor about carbonation just yesterday. He said "if it hurts, don't drink it- otherwise enjoy". He said he tells people to stay away from it a lot because they want people to avoid sugary sodas. I like seltzer water and it's nice to know I can have it again if I want to.
