If it's carbonated, I don't want it.....I'm a soda addict and there's no side skirting the issue here......

I sit here and watch from the side line too. Have fun and hope you enjoy it.....

I'm not sure what an "ice drink" is? but ginger ale has carbonation in it.

How about we call it soda pop and then both east and west coasts are covered along with the heartland. :)

if it is carbonated, I would stay far away from it.

The "ice drink" she's referring to are these fruit-flavored carbonated drinks. Super yummy- I drank them pre-sleeve. They are sugar free.

For OP- some people do choose to drink soda pop after they are sleeved. I don't because whether or not it's bad, I choose to believe it's bad...haven't had that bit o' heaven in 4 months....

Actually, I don't think Iced drinks are so bad. Carbonation is on the light side. I had these once or twice post op only because they are SF and they looked appealing. It was many months ago, probably around month 1. This is just my experience. I have not had any since then but would probably have hem again if nothing else were readily available.

Unless you're from New England and over the age of 40, then it's called "tonic"

      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.
