JSCRIMPSHIRE 56 Posted September 25, 2013 I have heard possible cons to drinking carbonation post sleeve. I tried a sip the other day- a VERY small sip- and thought I would die! The pain was so bad!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SeaLegs 38 Posted September 25, 2013 I'm told it has more caffeine than coffee by people who love it...mabe that's part of it. You could stir it until the fizz goes out, like some people do with ginger ale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newat52 1,613 Posted September 26, 2013 Carbonation....gave up my beloved diet mt dew in April in preparation for my august surgery!!!! So why oh why do I find myself craving some today!!!! It's bad to,, any suggestions? And no I've not given in!! Kim I can relate. I gave up my beloved Pellegrino Water. I absolutely adore it. I gave it up way back in February and have not looked back until....one day about a month ago I could not stop thinking about it, craving it and thinking about how much I loved it. Lasted all day long and I was not sure I was going to make it. Probably had it not been for the fact that I have not puked, slimed or otherwise since my March surgery, I may very well have caved in. Pretty sure it was the grace of God that got me through. I was fine the next day but jeez, it was a close one! Hang in there, you can do it! I was told it wouldn't be easy and sometimes its not.

AvaFern 3,516 Posted September 26, 2013 I've been sleeved for almost 3 weeks now and I asked my doctor about carbonation just yesterday. He said "if it hurts, don't drink it- otherwise enjoy". He said he tells people to stay away from it a lot because they want people to avoid sugary sodas. I like seltzer Water and it's nice to know I can have it again if I want to. 1 jensjoy28 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
