vhude 41 Posted September 4, 2015 I also learned that caffeine can block the absorption of Iron in our Vitamins. I too was told no for drinking soda and carbonation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spiceyfrog 269 Posted September 4, 2015 I agree with all of the posters, as I was also told that we are to never have carbination again. I stopped drinking pop about three months before my surgery and really do not miss it, I believe it was more of a habit than anything. If you truly "need" caffiene (getting headaches), I would try tea, hot or cold. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Elled2 12 Posted September 4, 2015 Don't drink pop!!!! Carbonation is awful for bands. Plus cutting out carbonated beverages is a great tool for weight loss! I stopped drinking pop and in a month alone lost. 15 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amylou 206 Posted September 4, 2015 I started back with my coffee (only one cup tho) a month post-op but I am not going to drink pop again - probably nothing carbonated. it's not good for you to begin with and I don't want to deal with any pain in my new gut.
