As long as it's not bubbly, not carbonated. You can even add Crystal lite if you want to. I use a dash of lemon and a pinch of swtnlow. Good luck on your new journey!

Isn't sparkling Water carbonated? I thought it was. If so, the answer to your question is absolutely no! It may cause your now little stomach to basically feel like it will blow up. SOes anyone know when we can start drinking carbonated drinks agian? I miss my diet coke.

My understanding on Carbonated drinks is it is a no no forever. I was told under no circumstances should I drink cokes or other carbonated beverages.< /p>

I've been told coffee is okay but Decaf is better cause some thing about caffeine makes your stomach rumble and that could be thought to be hunger when it is not. Most people I talk to say no problems at all with it.

I've tried carbonated beverages and just find them to be terribly uncomfortable. So between that and the possibility of the bubbles stretching my pouch I find reason enough to avoid them completely.

Thank goodness I suffer no ill effects from coffee, though! I'd never be able to face the day, half the time. :rolleyes :)

I didn't try a soda until more than 3 months out. Sometimes I'll sip on one, but I get uncomfortable if I go too fast. I definately wouldn't recommend it for right after surgery. coffee rules seem to depend on the doctor. My doctor had no issues with me having coffee, but some say no forever.

Good luck!

I was told that coffee is ok with equal or sweet and low I found out that Splenda spikes your blood sugar . I was allowed to have coffee with a touch of skim milk in it during my liquid shake phase. Carbonated beverages are a no-no But you can make it flat then drink it . I have heard other do that in my support group.

Corgi,

I saw costco had Sparkling Ice Water on sale and purchased a case of it.

Then Duh I realized Sparkling means carbonated.

I drank them slow and shook a lot of the carnbination out of them. I didn't have trouble but I won't get them again because to many drinks out there that I can use without having to prepare them to get rid of carbonation.

Try Propel...Costco also sell them and I like them the best

I drink sparkling Water all day every day. I just pour it, let it sit, stir a little to get rid of some bubbles, and sip slowly.

I'm with Sue - sometimes I just get a craving for a Sprite or a Coke or something, so if it's in a can I'll pour it over a glass of ice and let it sit for a while or give it a stir to get rid of the carbonation before I drink it. I don't know why, but for some reason, pouring soda over ice really seems to cut down on the bubblies!

Have your hubby return the sparkling Water [my guess is that he purchased the Sparkling Rain or the something Ice]. You shouldn't have carbonated beverages and this stuff doesn't taste that great. I have had samples while at costco.

I can't drink carbonated drinks, and that's before any surgery. If you want something to drink bedsides plain Water, I would recommend Fruit2O [by VeryFine] and Propel Fitness water. Both are flavored waters with not carbonation. Fruit2O has 0 calories while Propel has 10 calories per 8 oz serving [20 calories in a 16.9 oz bottle]. Both are least expesive at costco / Sam's, but you can get them Wal-Mart and most grocery stores too. Nestle came out with a flavored water about a month ago, I do not recall the name, but it had a nasty after-taste, so I would not recommend it. Hope this helps.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
