  • My nut said the only way to have a soda after surgery is to pour it into a glass, stir until there are no more bubbles, then leave it alone overnight. Too much hassle in my mind. I have only had Soda

Can't say I've heard that one. I was just told to take in 64 ounces of fluid/water a day.

I was never told that just be sure to get 64 oz a day liquid

Hummm thanks and I can't remember who told me. Lol loosing my mind as well as weight. Lol

I have never heard that. But you should not have carbonated or sparkling water. Tap or spring water are fine too.

You should not have carbonated or sparkling water that is equivalent to soda. The bubbles/gas are not good for your stomach. Any water that is carbonation free is good.

So I'm craving a diet mountain dew. What if I bought a single serve, poured half into a glass, put the lid back on the other half and shook it til it's flat. No carbonation, shouldn't be an issue, right?

i have not had a soda since june 2nd 2 1/2 months before surgery please don't do it carbonation is bad for us and soda is just empty calories and can hurt your pouch
