We were all told the same thing, to avoid carbonation. I know it doesn't seem to bother some folks. Your experiences? I'm about 3 months post op.

Carbonation doesn't stretch your stomach.

My dr said absolutely NO carbonated drinks so I haven't even tried them.. and let me say I was highly addicted to soda but I went cold turkey and now I don't even touch them..

I am just over five months out and have not had any yet. Going to try some seltzer soon and see how it feels. I really miss that!

I tried some carbonation after 6months, I had a small beer in holidays, a white one so it would not be too heavily carbonated. It didn't feel bad but it took me a long time to drink it...

I never loved sodas or sparkling Water so I didn't feel the need to try those again. I tried a sip of "champagne" at a wedding and it felt plain horrible.

ALL the people in my program said the exact same thing. I am learning though, that not everything they tell us is specifically tailored to the sleeve. I never really cared much for sodas, but I do miss a cold beer now and then. I will probably give it a try when beer drinking weather arrives next spring.

I tried a sip here and there and I don't care for it anymore. If I get something with carbonation I let

It go flat. Lipstick lady is right it doesn't stretch anything. Avoiding carbonation is about avoiding discomfort and empty calories.

I drink LeCroix 2-3 times a day.

Awesome input guys. I was addicted to soda but I haven't touched any at all because I'm afraid to open the flood gates again but also they've put the fear of carbonated beverages in me. I crave flavored carbonated water these days opposed to soda.

I started drinking carbonated beverages around 4 months out and still do every day. There's nothing like a cold La Croix! Sometimes I burp a few times while drinking, but it never hurts my stomach and I take small sips instead of gulps. My doctor said as long as I'm comfortable, it's fine!
