Can't say I've heard that one. I was just told to take in 64 ounces of fluid/water a day.

I have never heard that. But you should not have carbonated or sparkling Water. Tap or spring water are fine too.

You should not have carbonated or sparkling Water that is equivalent to soda. The bubbles/gas are not good for your stomach. Any water that is carbonation free is good.

So I'm craving a diet mountain dew. What if I bought a single serve, poured half into a glass, put the lid back on the other half and shook it til it's flat. No carbonation, shouldn't be an issue, right?

My nut said the only way to have a soda after surgery is to pour it into a glass, stir until there are no more bubbles, then leave it alone overnight. Too much hassle in my mind. I have only had Soda in the last 6 months, I don't miss it like I thought I would.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
