My NUT told me to pour some soda in a Ziploc bag and seal it up. Then carry the bag around while you do your housework or go up and down the stairs a few times. The bag will start to expand and bloat because of the carbonation. This is the same reaction it will have on your sleeve. That image sticks with me when I think about having a Coke after I'm sleeved. I just won't take that chance.

Coke & pepsi are poisons among many other addictive in the food industry that's why we are all now having this surgery. We need stop thinking about what we can't have and think what it's good for our body and health. I'm getting sleeved this Monday and I haven't had a coke in months it's a decision I made after watching a video on youtube.

It's poison!!!

I used to love Coke Zero, but since being sleeved I haven't wanted one. I am also afraid of the carbonation.

I was addicted to Dr Pepper. It was my morning coffee my afternoon snack. I'd drink 3-4 a day. I was sleeved April 29 & haven't had one craving for it & that was the one thing I was worried about. But my son had a Coke Slurpee the other day & I took a sip it tasted so good. Didn't cause any pain however it's got lots of sugar. Maybe could blend up diet Dr pepper with ice in blender make a diet Slurpee. Just a thought.

Post 5 days. No problem craving so far. And I straight up asked the doc. He said at least 2 years out, a few sips here and there are fine.

So any of your successful sleevers recovering diet pepsi drinkers? I think it is the "you can't every have again" that is depressing pre-screened. I love the crisp taste of a cold diet pepsi. And through every diet (some successful losses, just never maintained), I was always glad that even if I was restricted to chicken breast I could enjoy a cold diet pepsi after work. I've gone off of before so I know I can... Is just. Well. You know....

Anyone know what I'm talking about? Were you anxious about it before sleeve but it's turned out to be no biggy?

Well, I'm not advocating anyone to do what I did...but I still drink my one diet Pepsi MAXX every morning

I'm only 5 weeks out and had soda just fine. I kinda let the carbonation settle in my mouth before swallowing it. I like carbonation in general, even sparkling Water. I don't have a lot of gas or any pain or anything.

Pop sugared or not is just not good for anyone. It triggers obesity even with diet drinks not to mention the fact that the low calorie sweetners are really bad. If you look into this you will find that pop is a big no no. In fact it is one of the 10 things that are recommended that your should never consume. I have seen this time and again. I weaned myself off diet drinks when I first started my weight loss journey and I will never consume it again.

      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.
