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





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.

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
