Hello everyone,

I have a question...I know after having the sleeve surgery I won’t be able to drink any sparkling bubbly water. I love to cook, try new recipes and grill especially on Sundays and I enjoy having my wine or cocktail ( it’s just so relaxing, fun and chill) lol...so anyway I have been preparing myself for change, surgery and working on losing weight with my nutritionist so I just decided on my own to cut out the alcohol and switched to sparkling water with fruit in it for now and I put it in a wine glass so I feel like I’m still enjoying my cocktail, are there other drink options out there besides the protein shakes, Gatorade etc that I can still sip on in my wine glass?? I know after surgery I won’t be grilling out for a while but I love drinks in pretty glasses even if it’s not alcohol...it’s just my thing that I enjoy ? any suggestions...

I was told by my doc that i will not be allowed to drink anything with carbonation

reading above posts i see some docs allow. As always, we/doc/nut are all given directions At the

end of the day - listen/follow ONLY your doc/nut.

good luck

Your welcome. I'd recommend asking your doc about carbonation. If you read this article, carbonation is discouraged because most carbonated drinks have calories and the carbonation can cause excess gas. No-where does it say that it can stretch your pouch.

Maybe,but unless. you are,a 5th grade boy,do you really want to sit around belching,all the time?
B U R P!

LOL I don't belch all the time. I'd say no more than usual, and if I do have something carbonated, I don't notice a difference. I belch with certain foods more maybe...

I burp all the time anyway since surgery, no matter what I eat or drink, so the carbonation doesn't make a difference to me in that regard.
