marie110 33 Posted August 23, 2012 I'm 6 weeks out. ... and i was a very occasional soda person before surgery.. but do crave it especially to quench my thirst... at a recent family function i accidentally out of habit drank 7-up after gulping it and realizing it.. i was on panic mode just waiting to see the outcome and it did give me a very uncomfortable and bad stomach acke so won't do that again ... like all the other comments i would wait a very long time to try it...

LorenaVaca 29 Posted August 23, 2012 My doctor used to tell his patients no to sodas but after long research he has now said no carbonated drinks for the first 4 weeks. Dr Barker is a huge soda pop person himself and said that he can not see telling his patients that never ever again can they have a soda and that after his research he has found that having a soda once in a while doesnt hurt.

Lynzee43 28 Posted August 24, 2012 I could careless about soda/pop...I love flavored seltzer water(not the sweetened crap). It's so much more carbonated tho. So, that's probably totally out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ToDream 18 Posted August 27, 2012 Haven't had pop in nearly 1.5 yrs.... I've "tested" it but 1 sip frankly anything carbonated now feels super uncomfortable and way too sweet so I don't bother at all. Pre-op, I had soda EVERY SINGLE DAY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
