Can i drink diet coke im 13 days post op

[PreciousCargo 55]

I was told by my doctor that I may not drink soda every again.

I drink sparkling Water and a diet coke everyday BUT you need to wait until you are at least 6 weeks out because you are such high risk for a leak until you are 100% healed. Please wait! Your new tummy is healing!!!

Carbonated drinks will expand your tummy.......

I was told we can never have carbonated anything ever again ...It will expand your sleeve/stomach and I have read posts of women that have drank soda and 1 year out thats exactly what happen and they are now gaining weight and can eat like they did post surgery........dont take the chance ......good luck to you.

I would not try it that early out. I started drinking diet soda at about 11 months out and I'm fine. I would wait if I were you, your still healing.

I was told both with this and lapband- NO soda- carbonation is a) a false sense of fullness- it has too much sugar and it just isnt healthy for you...

Giving up soda was the best thing I ever did. I don't miss it at all. It's amazing how my Migraines suddenly stopped too.

I'm 8 months out and I can't tolerate soda. I get super burpy and uncomfortable. I've totally cut bubbles out of my diet - soda, champagne, fizz, alka-seltzer, etc. I don't like soda much anyway, so it wasn't a big sacrifice to me. I did love sparkling waters and champagne, so I miss those a great deal, but I'll take my size 10 jeans over a glass of carbonation any day!!!

I was told that I could not drink soda gain unless it sat long enough for it to go flat. I think it has something to do with the gas and bubbles in the soda so when you drink the soda it does not bode well for your stomach. I have not come close to a soda and I am close to 6 weeks post op. And I can honestly say that I do not miss the soda at all. I have found a new friend and it is called "Diet Cranberry Juice" It has 5 calories in a serving and with lots of ice it is wonderful. Of course I still enjoy my crystal light but cranberry is my fav. I would check with hour surgeon about the soda just to make sure.

I took 2 small sips of diet Pepsi last night and it was uncomfortable. Amazing such a small amount could cause me to notice, so I think better for me to stay away.
