Until last night the last soda I had was on 2/19/07, the day before my surgery. Well last night I went out to dinner @ Pei Wei for chinese. @ Pei Wei you have to get your own drink, so I decided to get a little bit of regular Coke. It was probably enough for 2 sips. I just wanted the taste. I started eating my food and I just felt horrible. :sick I thought it was the food and initially I thought that it was the food. I got a little Sprite (big mistake) and I thought it would settle my stomach. The feeling just intensified and it donned on me that it could be the soda. I went to Harris Teeter and got some chewable Gas-X and Pepto Bismol. It did help w/the feeling of nausea.:)

I have really lost my taste for soda over the last 2 months, so why I decided to take that painful 2 sips I have no idea. :( I am actually glad this happened b/c it helped me to end my relationship w/soda. I really realize that soda is no longer my friend. It will be missed...I guess beer is out too.

My nutritionist didn't recommend drinking soda of course, but she said at 2 months out I could try some if I wanted to. I didn't know I would have this effect. Does anyone else have problems tolerating soda?

I know this isn't a review on Pei Wei, but it was disappointing...P.F. Chang is much better.:)

On every single page of my nutritionist's outline of what to eat, it says in bold letters.. NO CARBONATED drinks. She described the symptoms you talked about and no thanks! I won't go there.. ever!! I'll stick with my Crystal Light.

My post op instructions said nothing about carbonated drinks. I don't drink them very often, but when I do, it's always diet, and I stir most of the bubbles out before I drink it. Otherwise, I can't tolerate it. It HURTS. Also, I buy it in those cute little 8 oz bottles, so that I can drink a few swallows of it, and put the lid back on it, put it back in the fridge, and I can drink on an 8 oz soda for about 3 days. Sometimes I just like a little bit of it.

I probably could have tolerated it better had I got some of the fizz out of it. I guess I should have if I was going to attempt to drink soda I should have done that.

My doc didn't ban carbonated beverages. After my 2 months was up I really didn't even think about going back to soda. I don't know what got into me last night. Normally I don't go to restaurants where you can get your own fountain drink. I thought it would be easier to not over do it by just putting a sip in my cup.

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
