My doc's program says that carbonated drinks can cause gas and bloating and to consider eliminating all together, but I know of people on here who drink 1 per day - and sometimes let it go flat so that the bubbles don't bug them too much. Sorry, not much of an answer! :)

Never. I can't drink it and I was sleeved 18 months ago. Soda is not good for any WL patient. The carbonation can stretch your pouch. The gas in the drink comes out and expands your stomach like a balloon. Your new stomach pouch can be stretched out over time if you drink carbonated beverages after your surgery. What’s more, carbonated beverages – like soda pop, ginger ale, sparkling cider and even tonic Water – increase hunger and contribute to weight regain.

My surgeon said he didn't care, but I find it too painful unless I drink it reallly really slowly....so maybe I'll have like 1 soda a month or something. I doubt at that frequency anything bad will happen (plus doc's approval).

I don't drink soda pop, But I drink several bottles of sparkling Water per day, and an average of 3 beers a week. Carbonation doesnt bother me.... and no it has not and will not strech my stomach. (I am 26 months post-op) I waited until 4-5 months out.

I was allowed soda after 4 months, but I've been drinking Crystal Light lemonade for more than 10 years - so I don't have any desire to drink fizzy stuff anymore.

At the initial appointment with my surgeon, I was told carbination was out of the picture after being sleeved. I never drank another soda after that......and don't see myself ever drinking bubbly anything again......it's been 7 months and I don't miss it.....

For me, I figure it's one of the concessions of having the sleeve.....plus it might be a slippery slope once I start, if I ever did have soda......Good luck!!!

Yep, was told to avoid and I do. Just an acceptable trade off ...

I'm 5 months out and started drinking soda recently. Don't do it! It doesn't hurt me to drink small amounts now, but I wish it did. I used to be addicted to soda before surgery and it was stupid of me to even try it. Now I want it all the time - and it's is so bad for us just because of all the chemicals, etc.! I'm stopping NOW!

Great advice and well taken. I see for each it's own. I love my beer and soda.... Crystal light has been horrible to me... I'm currently trying G2 and propel 0 and all those.... I guess it's just mental..

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
