I got sleeved Oct 1 2018 and have been doing great! Lost 60lbs and just hit onderland!

However, there are times (like tonight) that I am just jonesing for a Diet Pepsi. How bad will it be to have a few sips once in a blue moon? What will happen? Gas?

TYIA!

I feel this, I stopped soda after my first appointment with the nutritionist pre-op. I haven't had a single craving until last night. I had a dream that I chugged a 32oz cherry coke and ate an entire take out container of shrimp fried rice. Woke up with my stomach hurting (sympathy pains from the dream? haha). The gas pains aren't worth it I just know it.

I was sleeved June 4th 2018 and i have had a sip of seltzer water a few times and I've had a beer it took a long time to drink. You will burp allot but it doesn't hurt. Not for me anyway. But definitely uncomfortable burping probably 5 times per sip lol. I have not tried soda but it would probably take me An hour to drink one so it's not worth it to me. But I don't think it's a big deal to have a sip every now and then I wouldn't recommend regular soda though only diet.

This made me LOL :) it really wasn’t bad!!! I mean I had maybe four sips, but I burped and felt fine! And it tasted amazing lol

Thanks Alleamarie! I had a couple sips and it was fine!

My brother gets coke icee's when he craves soda. No carbonation... but you have to be one with will power to not do it every day as they have a lot of sugar. He has done well with them. Maybe freeze one in a cup and eat it.

That’s not a bad idea Angel’sFaith! Ty :)

I am 1 1/2 years out. Weighing 114 lbs and I treat myself to 1 diet coke a week. Usually on sunday. I never had a issue

That’s amazing, congrats on your weight loss!! One a week sounds totally doable :)

Honestly, it's not a very comfortable feeling. I had some the other night with some whiskey in it. My stomach just felt gross after. I have a friend who had the sleeve surgery a few years ago though, and she drinks coke regularly, so I guess that depends on the person too.
