No soda ever. no carbonation. one of the 'rules'

Almost 5 weeks out and I had regular Coke because nothing else would settle my stomach that day. I loaded a glass with crushed ice so that the soda went flat first- very important step! Then, I didn't actually drink it, but ate the Coke flavored ice with a spoon just like mom used to give us when we were sick as kids. It worked!

What about ginger ale? Man I like soda every once in a while. I hate juice.

I'm 2 and 1/2 weeks out and I miss my soda. I miss my big gulp filled with 80% diet coke and the rest cherry coke. With a good amount of ice. My cousin actually said that diet coke stocks were down since my surgery. I think about my healing stomach and the acid bubbly soda hitting it and that seems to help my soda cravings. For now..... Hahaha

My doctor wants us to be soda-free for six months. After that he says we could drink it again with no issues but, and I quote, "why would you want to?"

      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.
