soda

[teamskinny_keea 70]

I used to love carbonated drinks like sparkling Water, beer, kombucha. Now one tiny sip of carbonation makes me ill. I let them go flat then drink them, like flat diet gingerale. My kombucha won't go flat, though, too many little microbes keeping it happy.

im going to have to try that...

My favorite is when I go somewhere and they have the minute maid light lemonade! Makes me feel like I am having a soda and I'm totally not. I wish more places had it as a fountain choice.

you can buy the 15 cal minute maid at Walmart they are good!!

In the first few days post op I took diet 7-up and put it in ice cube trays. Once frozen, no more carbonation but all the taste. So for those of you craving your favorite sodas this may do the trick!

I just add plenty of ice to my drink and the flavor is so much smoother. I don't drink soda anymore but beer is ok like this if you want to drink 1.

Diet Soda resulted in my being on the toilet (almost passing out) for an entire Friday night (BIG Mistake).

However, what I can use is Sparkling Ice. http://www.sparklingice.com/ It is zero calories and lightly carbonated. The night prior I will usually just twist the cap to let some of the air out and then the next day I drink it. So lightly carbonated becomes REALLY lightly carbonated.

Just a thought.

that is a good thought i never done light carbonated drinks.. so i guess if im about to die that is next thought!!

My surgeon gave me the whole fire and brimstone, "If you drink soda ever again, your stomach will pop and you'll die!" Sooo, I'm never touching it again. Whether it's true or not, no more soda for me ever.

I've not drank soda in 13 months and I will never drink it again! I was horrible addicted to it and I'm afraid if I started drinking It again all my other food addictions would start up again also. I'm not taking any chances.

I went to go see my dietitian today and I asked her about this soda she told me know find other things that will satisfy me so I would not want soda.

I was scared to ask the surgeon about soda.. I was scared to see what she would say she does not play

I never in a million years would have thought of doing this, and I have been craving a diet sprite since I have been sleeved. Thanks so much!

I've had the same problem craving soda. But I have found that Powerade zero is amazing, kinda switches things up a little from Water.< /p>
