Why are we not supposed to have carbonated drinks? I'm not talking about soda necessarily, I understand the sugar and calorie thing. But what about the carbonation?

I was told carbonation introduces gas into the stomach and, not only causes pain but, takes up space that is needed for nutrients.

The carbonation hurts. I will have a few sips when i really want the taste.

I too have it sometimes. I love a Diet Coke. I can't drink it out of a can anymore because the carbonation is too strong. I do enjoy a fountain drink from time to time.

They told me the carbonation stretches the pouch. Don't know if I buy that, but I want to get off diet cokes anyway.

I miss my diet pepsi but i was also addicted to it i would guzzle 8-12 a day. So i have no plans on opening that can of worms. Sorry but some things you can't just do in moderation and for me that's one.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
