My surgeon is in the camp of ~~~it wont stretch your tummy and its ok in moderation (diet only) after X weeks depending on how you are healing. I have been drinking diet coke since 6 weeks. I always pour it over ice to release some of the fizz in it. Sadly and weirdly' date=' it is the ONLY thing I have found that does not give me raging heartburn/reflux. Even plain Water gives me heartburn. But always do what YOUR dr says![/quote']

Have you tried diet rite? My body want Water, water, water. Yesterday I had G2 it was not bad. It give me a boost of energy. I was told by my doctor ...I could never have sodas ever in life. I would have 2 wait 2 chew gum. I still chew sugar free gum.

<br />Sincerely<br /> Z

I have been told no soda and I love diet coke. Do you guys get Soda Stream in America? If so, I bought the diet coke Syrup that you buy for the soda stream and mix it with Water. Hey presto, completely flat diet coke.

I've been wondering if that would work! We have Soda Stream here so I may consider that!

What about carbonated Water like soda water or Voss water? I am not one for soda, I haven't been for years. But I do like voss water on occasion and it's just basically a carbonated flavorless water.

My Dr said to mix it a bit and get it a bit flat prior to drinking. She never said I could not have it.

My surgeon said I can have soda as long as it's sugar free and diet. He said flat is best but can try with carbonation and see how I handle it. No I have not it, I love the strawberry lemonade Crystal light and teja unsweetened ice tea

I accidentally drank some coke at about 3 1/2 months out. I thought it was tea. That was the worst I have felt since having the surgery. I hope that never happens again.

I was told no soda because the chemicals make you hungry, but that carbonated Water is okay as your sleeve will stay the same

I have had one soda a day for awhile now. I take tiny sips and always drink from a cup. It helps take some of the carbonation out. I have not had any problems and i have been loving my diet cream soda :)

I was told to put a little soda in a snack size zip lock bag and put it in your pocket. Your new stomach is the size of a snack size bag and you can see what the soda does to the bag and then decided if you want to put that into your body. Plus, any soda is a lot of calories, even diet soda that says no calories is full of stuff that once it hits your body turns into calories. On average a diet soda drinker gains 10 pounds a year instead of losing weight. Water is best and if you need some flavor crystal light works.

      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.
