Had some sips but it hurts. Made me so uncomfortable. Idk if I can say I will never have another drop but I can't drink more than a sip ever again. I've had possibly 2-3 sips in almost 2 months. I quit pre op and I was a coke zero addict

I drink a diet sprite occasionally. They don't bother me unless I take a big slurp! But, I tend to have a bottle or glass around and drink it for hours so its usually just slow sips. Never been a huge soda drinker anyway.

I have a diet soda once in awhile. Usually I try to best some of the fizz out of it first, and I've had no problems with it.

Oh no no no... Ive been under the knife to lose this weight and soda was "part" of the reason I got in this situation.

I would only take a sip if I had gas stuck to help burp but anymore it hurts. I too love Coke Zero

I was told no carbonated beverages. I am very lucky to be a person who doesn't like soda at all. Even before surgery the only non- alcoholic beverages I drank were Water, unsweet tea and skim milk. That is a true blessing because those are all things I can still have. Even no alcohol for the first year will be fine. My vices are sweets so I plan to not try any refined sugar and am telling myself I will dump. Better to keep that sugar monster at bay!

I was told the same. I was never a soda drinker anyway. Pastry was my particular vice.

I basically have regular soda when I'm on my period. Other times I don't drink it at all.

The carbonation can stretch your pouch. Be very careful drinking soda.

I was a huge diet pepsi addict... I quit cold turkey after surgery, I am a year+ post op and I have a diet soda every once in a while but I don't miss it at all. Actually it tastes very chemically now.

I drink a baby can (8oz) of Pepsi or ginger ale sometimes. Now I find that some sodas taste weird to me

      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.
