Carbonated Beverage 10 Weeks Out

[ibehere10 163]

I have not had surgery yet but was already told that CARBONATED beverages were off limits and they suggested I start now so I can get use to living without carbonated drinks. Good thing for me is that I rarely drink soda anyway so it is fine. I was also told that CAFFINE will be allowed but very limited and not for the first few months after surgery. That will be the issue for me, I love my morning coffee. However I have read many posts on here where people have stated they had no taste for coffee post surgery anyway so we will see how it goes for me!

If it helps ibehere, I drink a cup of coffee a day and one cup of tea. Anything else is all Water. I wasn't warned against caffeine, but then again I'm learning all kinds of new things I wasn't told every day.

This is what it says on my papers from my dr. Says I can have 8oz a day and I do. Sleeve on April 26 and have yet to have a stall!! Started at 244 now at 192

8 oz per day is referring to CAFFEINE not carbonation.

Absolutely correct. And it's remarkably vague about the carbonated beverages.
