sparkling water

My doctor says no carbonation ever. Ask your doctor what his rules are.

It all depends on whether it makes you uncomfortable or not. I can drink bubbles without a problem but I do drink them slowly. I think if I tried to chug them down it would be highly problematic.

Until you are healed from surgery the consensus amongst most doctors is NO carbonation (2-3 months)........after that it seems to vary...I drink a diet cafeine free pop a day and I did actually buy some sparkling Water this weekend...my doctor said it is OK as long as you aren't drinking empty calories. Also you can't drink carbonation with food - OUCH!

I neither cared for nor could tolerate sparkling Water, for several years postOp. The past several years though I do enjoy a can now & then of lemon flavor 'LaCroix'. Never with food. I did quite a study on the sparkling waters available years ago. It is a totally delightful hobby. Appolinaris and Ramos were 2 of my favorites, now very difficult to find. And beware, they mfgs can hardly stand to not put some kind of sweetener in an otherwise magnificent product. Resist all such non sense! Drink non-sparkling if you must.

I tried some because I didn't realize that is what I put in my shopping cart. It's a no go for me. Anything carbonated just doesn't feel good and I can't drink enough of it to quench my thirst.

I only just recently started drinking a tiny bit of 0 calorie carbonated beverage as a dessert. When I'm craving something sweet - it hits the spot, and fills me up. But damn the belches just come right up.

hi can you drink sparkling Water?

I asked that question to my nutritionist and patient coordinator. They just about jumped at me (outraged) that I would even consider it.

I'm going to guess "No" biggrin.gifrolleyes.gif

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
