I am 2 months out of sleeve and I want carbonated water so bad but I’m not sure if I can ever have it. I’ll ask my surgeon next Friday about it but is it okay to have it?

No carbonated water. Just like drinking a soda. My nutrition says it expands the pouch

Some people tolerate it fine, but it’s painful for me to drink any carbonation and I’m four and a half years out.

Can you never have it? I had some but like a sip. I felt fine. I won’t drink it if it makes my pouch bigger

Tend to bloat you up plus those,usually are full,of simple carbs like,sugar.

Not carbonated water. The ones I usually got have nothing in it at all.

Some can some cant. After the pain it’s given me I likely won’t try again. Accidentally tried about six months ago when hubbys drink and mine got mixed up.

I was told no carbonated drinks cause it will stretch out your new stomach.

You’re not supposed to have any carbonated drinks ever again!! It will expand your pouch. Not worth the risk.

Most doctors will tell you that the carbonation stretching your stomach is a myth. Your stomach is made of thick muscle fiber. Tiny air bubbles won’t exert enough pressure to stretch it. The stretchy part (the fundus) has been removed if the sleeve was performed correctly.

I'm 14 months out and I can drink carbonated water. The most it does is make me burp more. My doctor said as long as I can tolerate seltzer I can drink it, it won't stretch the pouch as that is a myth. That being said I was around 9 months post op before I even tried it.

It won’t stretch your stomach. Worst case you’ll feel pain. I started drinking carbonated drinks a few weeks out. 7 months out and I drink them about 5x a week. Carbonated and flavored water or diet cherry Coke. That’s my weakness. I just have to drink more slowly than before and I burp. Otherwise no issues.
