July 25, 201610 yr A guy in my support group said he still drinks Diet Coke. He opens the can or bottle in advance to let all the carbonation escape. Then he drinks it after it has gone flat. I don't know what to think of this?
July 25, 201610 yr I've heard about this too, a lady at my work she has the Gastric Bypass and what she does is, she fills the cup with ice first then add the soda and wait until ice malts. A lot of ice more ice than soda. Sent from my iPhone

July 25, 201610 yr For me, it was the "burn" from the carbonation that I liked. Can't imagine drinking it flat for the taste. To each his own I guess.
July 25, 201610 yr I don't see why it would hurt but flat soda doesn't sound very a appealing to me. Many have mentioned flat soda doesn't cause them issues.
July 25, 201610 yr I waited about three and a half months before trying anything carbonated. The carbonation doesn't bother me, but I burp a lot. I find a 12oz can is a good size. I keep some Vitamin Water zero and coke zero on hand for my flavored sugar free beverages.
July 25, 201610 yr Yes iv hear the same too and the ice sparkling Water too. But that's like when I hear they ain't taking their Vitamins or not getting in enough Protein. Ummm say what??? Whyyyyyyy??? Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
July 26, 20169 yr Diet drinks, and sodas in general, are just really bad for you. Why waste success on it?
July 26, 20169 yr I drink Coke Zero (fizzy and with a straw no less!) all the time. I prefer a fountain soda, but will pour some over ice at home. No success "wasted" here! I didn't drink it before my NP gave me permission at 6 months, though.
July 26, 20169 yr I'm not a big coke drinker, I will however miss beer... I drink that, too. Really? how soon after surgery? how many? Trust me, I don't plan to drink any time soon after surgery, but I'm VERY curious to know..
July 26, 20169 yr I drink diet/zero soda as well, and I don't let it go flat. I put it over ice and drink it with a straw also. No issues whatsoever. Did not start drinking it until around 7 months out tho.
July 26, 20169 yr I'm two months out and able to drink diet pop with a straw and with carbonation - no problems and it's a big motivator for me because I don't get to have it until at least 75% of my daily liquid is down
