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

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
