I'll never try it bc it's not worth stretching. I was thinking about that soda stream concentrate stuff and just trying it in ice water...

I am 14 wks post op and have had a small glass of soda, diet of course - the only soda I drank. Nothing happened. My doctor's office said absolutely NO SODA but I was dying to try it. I miss drinking soda but am OK with ice tea, waters, etc.

My doctor said nothing carbonated or with caffeine for 3 weeks. I tried a Decaf coffee yesterday with soy milk and I couldn't drink it it made my stomach hurt :( so I might try again next week!

My doctor told me I can have soda after 6 weeks. There is no proven evidence that it stretches the pouch. I've researched it. The reason they don't want to drink pop is because it makes you crave sweets. I can't wait to have a diet pepsi!

My doctor said no soda ever, but if I had to it had to be flat. But I stopped drinking soda when I started the classes to get a referral to see surgeon. I kinda miss it but I also LOVE LOVE LOVE Starbucks Passion tea so I sip on that all day:)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
