At about 8 weeks post op, I started to drink 1 can of diet dr pepper per day, I sip through out the day. It keeps me sane because I don't drink coffee lol. I told my dr and he said that carbonation has not been proven to stretch the pouch, they say to avoid it because it MAY cause discomfort. And in my case, it has not. So he said one a day is ok. I make sure I eat right and take my Vitamins. And I'm doing fabulous.

I did drink diet soda & I decided it wasn't worth it so I gave it up all together. I'm not an alcoholic drinker but I did have 1 cup piña colada with rum over the summer time. About 1 month ago I had skinny lady rum that wasn't so bad. Haven't had any more drinks. I'm a cafe addict. I will not stop drinking cafe I don't drink it all day but I won't stop it.

I love coffee and like jenneliza, I just use the regular flavored Creamers (my one 35 calorie indulgence) and Splenda. I not only enjoy coffee, it absolutely has and continues to help me satisfy the occasional hunger pangs and cravings. And on top of that, it's good for you. Loaded with antioxidants and there is preliminary research indicating that it may be beneficial in preventing some types of cancer. I have two and sometimes three cups in a day and I ain't ever giving it up!

I am choosing to do neither. I have read of too many people gaining the weight back after doing one or both. Why risk it?

I'm with you kristy3k.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
