Can any one tell me why we are suppose to watch the carbonation intake?

I have not really given up my diet Coke an haven't had any problems.

Maybe I should ask if everything is ok if I am not having problems, LOL.

Every docs rules are different. Mine says carbonation is fine after 12 weeks post-op, but that you probably won't want it as burping can hurt as you get restricted. He also says that carbonation stretching the pouch is a myth...but who knows. I don't drink pop anyway.

I told my doctor that I didn't want to give up my 1-2 Diet Cokes a day because it's my only source of caffeine. He said it could be painful the first couple days because of the carbonation, but left it up to me. I avoided it for 3 days and actually didn't miss it as much as I thought. I think the liquid Vicodin helped me avoid caffeine headaches :thumbup: There is essentially nothing wrong with diet carbonated drinks, they just want to make sure you're getting enough Water. I have no problem getting my 64 ounces since the only other thing I drink is my (now) one Diet Coke in the morning.

I've been told a few things about drinking carbination and I must say it cant be too good for you because that month I had unfill and I was able to drink pop without a prob. This week a got a fill and only took about 3 small drinks from my cup before I started PBing all over the place. So for you people that can still drink it you might not be that tight just yet. I will not be drinking any more for a long time. Its weird how just 1cc to make that much of a difference.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
