Katie8907 27 Posted July 26, 2014 My mom is a post op bypass patient... She drinks pop on a daily basis but also drinks crystal light... I wouldn't push it over the limit though:-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maebugg75 5 Posted July 30, 2014 My mother is ten years out in gastric bypass. She was 280 and is maintaining 150. She drinks diet Pepsi daily. She was smaller before she started drinking it so she did gain some weight from it. She currently stopped drinking it and lost 7 pounds in a week. She was drinking atleast. 4-5 cans a day.

Nicey2u 228 Posted July 30, 2014 Chike ice coffee is very good. My PA said to have tonic Water? ? But I don't even have that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pink1028 6 Posted August 1, 2014 I was a Mountain Dew and diet Mountain Dew drinker for years before I stopped drinking soda and they are one of the few sodas that taste the same with or without the carbonation. Either way I wouldn't want to risk all of my hard work for soda. I think that the Isopure drinks taste just like a soda and come in several different flavors, plus they have like 50 grams of Protein per bottle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InfiniteButterfly 438 Posted August 1, 2014 Chike, Click, Javapro...all caffeinated Protein drinks. (although if you're not an iced coffee fan, you may not like them) To me, the pain of carbonation's not worth it. I'm not a pop drinker, I stopped that a year or two ago and won't go back. It's absolutely not worth it to me. I accidentally had ONE carbonated drink about six weeks out (I picked up a flavored Water at the store, neglecting to see it was made with sparkling water). One sip and I was in agony. Never again. It's not worth the pain. Plus...pop is way too sweet for my tastebuds post-surgery anyway. I can barely drink anything but plain Water (and my coffee...can't forget my coffee) because the sweet turns my stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sndgord52 4 Posted August 1, 2014 Hi Babish, I was sleeved 4 weeks ago. Nothing really taste good to me either. My nutritionist says this is common post weight loss surgery and recommends I try different spices. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersrose43 837 Posted August 5, 2014 You know lately have been trying to reduce the amount of acid and tracking foods that cause more acid. What I have noticed is when I have more acid episodes the more I lose my taste for things. Has anyone noticed this? I went to my dentist for a crown and while I was there I begged her to look at my teeth as I felt my guns were swollen. She said it was the acid and I will need cleanings more often if I suffer from acid. She mentioned that my taste buds are likely changing as well - acid. I hate acid. Never had it before so this is not pleasant after effect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonlitestarbrite 902 Posted August 5, 2014 my H is a former soda addict. he discovered that he went back to soda drinking about 8-10 weeks after stopping each time. this time he toughed it out... resisted the craving, and after about 2-3 weeks the craving went away finally. now its been about 6 months. he still craves it when really tired, but doesnt want to start over again.

Gibble 28 Posted August 5, 2014 My Dr. suggested flat soda when I was nauseated, but I think you could drink it any time, just sip slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristaSilliman 14 Posted August 5, 2014 I'm 3 months post op & I've tried a few sips of Diet Dr Pepper slowly. It didn't cause any pain or discomfort. I've also drank a child's size frozen coke. It was so good! No pain with that either. My pouch is fine no stretching going on. No weight gain either. But I don't drink it daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
