Was wondering how long to wait for carbonated drinks ginger ale and sprite, 4 weeks post op and curious!

I was told never... I was told no carbonated drinks ever !

Yup, that's what my surgeon said as well. I have put it out of my mind. A small sacrifice for such great rewards!

My understanding is that carbonation will stretch your pouch out so never going back to them is my plan. That is a pretty cheap price to pay, in my book, for a better quality of life. The size of my stomach is a great tool when combined with a total, lifetime change in my eating and drinking habits. Not being willing make that lifestyle change will destroy my tool.

Your doctor or nutritionist should have already explained this to you.

There is a lady I know of that had had weight loss surgery 2 times so far and one of the reasons is because she refused to quit drinking carbonated drinks.

You're not supposed to have those anymore. Apart from the calories and how bad they are for you, the sleeve is against carbonated drinks.

My surgeon was fine with drinking anything with carbonation, he said try it it feels okay then you can drink it. My sleeve is fine with it, I did wait 6 mths and tend to only consume on the weekends..
