Soda

[Mrs_O 118]

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.
