I Want Soda ... BAD

Seriously, why no soda? The acid? The gas? I really, really want some. I've been months now without. Oh, it is hard!!!

Have you tried soda post-op? What happened?

      Why waste vaulable space on a slider, non nutritious beverage? Post-op it's enough of a challenge to get in healthy fluids. As mentioned above the carbonation is not good for your belly.

    Can you venture out into some new drinks? Maybe you are getting bored with your liquids? I'm going on 4 months post op... too scared to even drink anything bubbly.

    I quit drinking sodas before being sleeved, but in our nutrition classes they gave us an interesting picture when we asked why we couldn't drink carbonated beverages. They said to imagine what happens when you take a small baloon, put it on an open soda bottle and shake it up. The thought of what stomach I have left blowing up was not appealing to me, so I haven't tried it since. I figure my Diet Pepsi didn't taste that good when I had it last anyway, and no Coke Zero was worth taking a chance like that. I have enough other stuff to deal with. :blink:

    Try to get hooked on sugar free sobes or low calorie Gatorade. I'm still soda free, though I do have sweet tea often.
