when i got just super sick of Water i would just have a little bit of a Powerade. the artificial taste of anything sugar free was sickening so i thought better to have just a little bit of the regular than be dehydrated. now i am back to just Water and everything else usually tastes terrible. your taste buds will keep changing all the time! I've had two occasions where i had to take a sip of a soda. both times i was choking on a small crumb of something and thats what my hubby happened to have in his hand. i didn't drink enough for it to seriously hurt me but the burps were something else! they lasted for hours!!!

steer clear of soda, it's incredibly addictive and believe me, NOT worth it. i started drinking soda again about 18 months post op and now can't get away from it, AND i've gained 8-9 lbs in the process.

seeing my new doc in a few weeks, and doing a 5 day pouch test to try and reset this whole thing, right now i'm struggling bad...

No soda ever again. Unless it's flat. The carbonation can stretch your stomach back out and it's painful I hear. Which would totally suck for everything you went through to get the surgery. I have a new favorite drink.. At least post op drink. It's the v8 light- strawberry banana. I'm 7 months post op and down 100lbs! I feel great :-)

I drink soda everyday now(not saying it's the right thing to do, but no1 is perfect).. but I definitely wouldn't drink it before you're more healed. It is very uncomfortable depending on if its from a bottle, can, or fountain drink. I have just gotten used to the discomfort so it doesn't really bother me now.

      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.
