Perhaps you are drinking too fast. Remember to sip your liquids, you have a tiny pouch now.

You're only 16days out so you still have to be careful. I just finished 30days of full liquids.< /p>

Like NewDawn said, try drinking slower.

Best wishes!

You're getting blisters? Where?

Why are you getting blisters on your tongue? It sounds like you may have a more serious problem other than not knowing that you should not have carbonated beverages after being banded.

Did your doctor/surgeon/nutritionist review what your post-op diet progression should be?

Call your doctor. As far as I know, no one on LBT is a medical professional. Those blisters could be from reflux, an infection, or whatever, but we can't see them and we can't diagnose the cause or prescribe the treatment.

Let us know what your doctor says, OK?

I just read this as "I'm getting blisters cuz I'm craving one" I thought that was some term I wasn't familiar with.

If you have blisters on your tongue, you need to call your Dr, pronto!

Agreed, until I saw the replies I actually glazed over that detail.

I was sondering to about the blisters...where and why?

I know I'm gonna get blasted for this, but if your doc says soda is ok, go for it. My doc says its ok to sip on, better if you let it sit for a few minutes. I drink soda (diet) almost daily, I let it sit in a cup for 10-15 minutes prior to drinking and have had NO problems for a year. I don't gulp it and I do consciously pay attention and make sure I don't feel a bloated type feeling. I know several people who do the same & have had no problems with carbonated drinks. Follow your docs instructions though...if he says yes, then enjoy....if he says no, stay away!!

Problem is, she's only been banded since Nov 2. She needs to heal a little more.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
