I haven't had a dr pepper since day I decided to have surgery. I miss the carbonation of sodas, I wouldn't dare touch one cause im so scared of the repercussions like pain

I actually had a tiny sip of my husband's beer a couple weeks ago...some nasty craft beer I wished I hadn't tried, LOL...I digress. The one tiny little sip I think may have cured my desire for carbonation...it "felt" so much stronger than I remember carbonation being and I didn't like the feeling in my mouth one bit.

I was a 6-7 a day Diet Coke addict pre-band. Tasted one the other day and thought to myself, I actually used to put this nasty tasting stuff in my mouth???

I still drink a diet coke a few times a week, my doc is fine with it if you can tolerate it.

nope........i miss coors light sometimes though.but my dr said no carbonation..so nope it remains

I stopped soda and beer, and anything carbonated after being banded, and just recently began drinking beer again,. Soda I do not touch because it is just not good for you...there is a place here where they make their own Black Cherry soda, all natural...I'll get a 4 pack every now and then....

As far as carbonated drinks, you really need to listen to your Dr.'s advice....like I said, it was only after I was banded for 2 years did I begin to understand, and after going over it with my Doctor, did I start to drink it again, now knowing what to look out for, and why....

And he was right...if I did it on my own early on, it would not have been a good thing....I really had no idea.

No

Been close to two years for me since I've had any of that. I had a terrible addiction. I was drinking two cases a week of diet Pepsi and that doesn't include the ones I would buy from the vending machine at work. I don't miss it now but I do miss having a Guinness from time to time especially on St Patty's day.

Like CarolinaGirl said above, Doc said no carbonation. So...I've had no carbonation.

I had stopped drinking soda in july of 2012 cause I went to the y lapband surgeon just to ask questions with a coworker that had it done and he said no carbonation so I had to stop , let me tell you it was hard as I drank Dr. Pepper like 2-3 2liters a day by my self so I was addicted to that soda , since then I tried a small slurpee and it was not a good feeling , so I choose and will not touch any drinks that are carbonated and I have not had a soda since july 2012 , yes I do miss it but I don't miss not being able to move ,being tired all the time or even having to use a cane , so I could walk so no I guess I really don't think about it I think of all that the tool(band) and I have been able to accomplish, so I am satisified with my self and my tool.

Yes, I miss it. I was banded Nov 13th and had stopped several weeks prior, I drank 2 diet Dr Peppers first thing every morning. Now I drink a large glass of iced water. Some mornings I think, I sure would love a Dr Pepper, but I know soda is not good for anyone, one big mix of chemicals, so I know I feel better without putting all those chemicals in my body. But sure would love one some mornings !

I have not had a soda since I started my 2 week pre op diet. I don't miss the carbonation at all, but the convience of getting a drink while on the go I really miss. Most places don't have much that is not carbonated. I do miss the caffine from the soda, but I get that from my morning cup of tea and the chai tea lattes I drink throughout the day. I am loving the almost no calories from my drinks now.

I drink iced tea now, most of the time its homemade however I found drinking frozen coke is now my biggest weakness
