Carbonation anyone?



Recommended Posts

Ok so my doctor says no carbonated drinks! He said if you pop a "pepsi your looking for a pringle" haha. Well I no a couple of people that had the surgery and they are allowed carbonated drinks? I am dying to have one but I just just afraid??? Any advice? Did your doctor allow carbonated drinks?

I think every doc is different. Mine said ginger ale was ok and was given it post op in the hospital. He said that carbonation stretching your pouch is a myth and most docs tell you to stay away from soda is because of the sugar and empty calories and it can lead back to unhealthy dieting habits especially fast food.

Mine said it causes uncomfortable gas - and just told me it’s totally a myth that you can stretch out your new pouch.

Carbonation expands naturally and causes bloat...think about how it'd affect your pouch!

My surgeon said the exact opposite of what some of you are saying. He said that it will certainly stretch your pouch when consumed often, especially if you try to drink it the same way you do Water. I don't think that one sip would do it, but why open that can of worms when there are so many much healthier things to drink out there. It's been three years and two months since I last had a soda and I rarely miss it. Even when I do, I know it isn't something that I need or really even want.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
