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:-)

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.

Chike ice coffee is very good.

My PA said to have tonic Water? ? But I don't even have that.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

My Dr. suggested flat soda when I was nauseated, but I think you could drink it any time, just sip slowly.

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.

      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.
