Now you shouldn't, it's carbonated and will definitely give you gas. It will also give you pains in your stomach. Not a good feeling ... Trust me :(

I was told if you going to drink a soda you should let it go flat, which kind of defeats the purpose of drinking a soda. ;)

No, not that I know of. Your stomach is so small that the air bubbles in pop can really cause some serious pain. Sorry I didn't give good news.

Not sleeved myself but from my research (lol) I've heard it really depends on what you can handle. Some ppl/doctors say no, never. Some say later on and wait 6months, year, whatever..Then i've heard some people lose their desire for it...so....I would get your docs advice and maybe a after some time give one a try..to see if you still like it. thats what i was gonna do lol I love muh soda! lol :D

The carbonation can be uncomfortable. I have poured it into a glass and let it go flat some and that seems ok, but that wasn't until recently. I am over 8 months out.

Pop is not a dear friend hun...trust me....it wreaks havoc on your system...whether sugar free or not.....it is just artificial color and sugar.....It takes several glasses of Water to reverse the affects 1 glass of pop has on your system..Not a true friend...not at all.....

I've had some on two occasions (I’m not quite four months out) and I didn't really have any issues with it, but I had to drink it very slowly and frankly it just wasn't the same. It's kind of lost its appeal to me now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
