Has Anyone Else Been Released To Drink Pop

[SleeveShelly 75]

My surgeon told me I could have pop. Does anyone else drink it?

My nut said it was recommended you never drink sodas....thats suprises me.

My Doctor said I can never have them again . No , carbonation it can expand your sleeve .

[amykins 202]

Nope, no soda for me ever again. My surgeon said carbonation can stretch the sleeve. And I don't plan to experiment to see if that's true. I will take my surgeon's word on it.

I also was told no more soda ever since ur can stretch your sleeve. I'm not willing to test it out to find out whether or not its true!

My nut said , it is painful from the gas expansion while healing ! Once healed in moderation it is ok, it is very difficult to stretch sleeve . They remove the stretchy material of stomach and make your sleeve out of the harder part of stomach

I was told i should not drink it.. I had a small sip and felt like i was going to explode.. I kinda panicked and kept patting my chest like a baby to burp it up

My NUT has said during both pre and post op support groups that drinking soda is not a good idea. It is not only because of the carbonation, but she also said it is a gateway for some to fall back into old destructive eating habits.

My surgeon is of the "no soda ever" crowd. I'm ok with that, regardless of the reason.

It's true that it can cause gas pains, especially when you are so fresh post op. however the farther you are out the more it is tolerated. that forant mean its the best choice for you. it was explained to me that it is not so much that it stretches the stomach permanently, it that the carbonation stretches the stomach when it is in there and creates a larger space, which allows you to put more food in it, and ultimately gain weight back, and set yourself up for bad habits again. This is an opportunity to change bad habits that can lead to weight gain again. So it's more a choice you have to make, in my opinion it's self sabotage to even rationalize it.

No soda for me ever again, which is fine with me.

Now beer...that is a crying shame.

I will absolutely be compliant. I didn't run around being fat and unhealthy for 44 years to go through the expense and pain of surgery, the recovery and the change in relationship with food, just to sabotage myself back to where I was before. That would be insane.
