Sleevers don't have pouches. But, even though we don't have pouches from everything I have learned carbonation is not a good idea, especially when you are newly sleeved.

I drink carbonated drinks all the time and have super tight restriction

Is it different for people who have had bypass surgery than people with sleeves?

People who have bypass do have a pouch which can stretch. Carbonation is not a good idea for bypass folks either.

And actually to piggy back onto that, the carbonation rule was specifically meant for the bypass folks BECAUSE their pouch can stretch.

It's because you're still in the honeymoon phase. Believe me, your restriction will be less and less over time. My husband could eat normal size portions in a matter of a few years because of carbonation consumption after RNY.

I had the sleeve. Still don't think it's a big deal.

I didn't even think about it the other day. We had a root beer float party, and I dug right in, forgetting about the carbonation. I didn't drink any more after I realized it, but I did have a stomach ache. BTW, I am 6 lbs. under goal, and am trying to figure out a way to STOP losing. I don't do many artificial sugar Snacks.< /p>
