yes. Although carbonation can be hard on some people's stomachs. I can tolerate carbonation if it's not TOO bubbly. I sometimes have to let certain things sit out for awhile until the flatten out a bit.

I tolerate carbonation just fine. I just can't chug it like I can water.

PS: It is not off limits in my plan. Just as tolerated and in moderation like everything else.

I had my first champagne about 6 weeks after my sleeve and I've drunk carbonated drinks ever since - doesn't bother me but I think there's a LOT of variation. It's one of those things I would take very easy first time round and give yourself plenty of time between sips (to buuuuuuurp - a lot LOL!)

Also be really careful with alcohol - you may find your tolerance is virtually zero after surgery.

I rarely have carbonation. I have sparkling water every day but I drink it pretty flat (keep the lid on the bottle loose). I drink it because I like the taste as a change from plain water. I do have soda or tonic water in the odd gin & the odd glass of champagne. But I only drink about once a month & then one glass is usually enough. Yes alcohol is empty calories, can slow your metabolism, etc. but I just don’t enjoy it as I used to. But when I do have it I have the real stuff: quality over quantity.? Also carbonation stirs up my reflux.

Actually I watched an interesting medical program yesterday & they said there is research that carbonation (any drink) stimulates the production of our hunger hormone & results in people consuming 100+ calories per day. Unsure if the more carbinated drinks you consume the more you eat though. If you enjoy reading academic papers:

It’s about a study using rats but the program did a short trial with people with the same type of results.

Wine and champagne is wasted on me, never liked it. I do however like a G&T when I am out, its rare but I dont get problems with having a few. I drink coffee non stop, use straws etc and have no problems

I have had non alcoholic champagne, it did bother a little the first time but if you wait a few after serving is good. I have had ginger ale and some sip of soda and had no issues, but my program says no carb

You're able to chug water?
How far out post op are you?

19 months post op and I still have to let everything go flat before I can drink it. I will have one of those mini Coke Zeros like once a month that's gone flat but thats about it. I only do non-sparkling mixers and wine when it comes to alcohol, too.
