On my first meeting with my dietitian she told me that after surgery sodas are not permitted, because of the empty calories and sugar even, seltzer Water and the no calorie beverage should be off limit. They cause gas, bloating and risk of acid reflux.

Nope, you're going to have to get used to Water, iced tea, and other non-calorie liquids

I don't normally drink soda. I really just like Water milk. I every once in a while will drink a Powerade zero or a diet soda. Maybe twice a month I have one or the other. I'm just worried that decayed I can't eat I'm going to get tired of the milk and water which is kind of how I'm feeling. I don't want it every day even. I just thought I could have one to change it up but it doesn't matter now. I bought vita water and I'm satisfied.

Use this time to think about how you want to eat for the rest of your life. In my opinion, every bite and sip after surgery and for the rest of your life should be as nutritious and healthy as possible. Artificial sweeteners, colors, and flavorings don't meet the healthy criteria. Water and herbal teas are great. There is a lot of research that shows artificial sweeteners to be very detrimental to weight loss. They confuse the body/brain - lots of sweet but no calories? Let's just lay down some fat reserves just in case. The stuff is toxic - a chemical cocktail. If your goal is long term healthy living, just give it up now and be done with it. Just my opinion, and I wish you the very best surgery!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
