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 drank about 1/2 of a Dr. Pepper about 6 weeks post op. Didn't have any problems, but i drank it slow & found really didn't care for it anymore.

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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
