I know soda is out of the question because of the carbonation but what about frozen cokes. There is no carbonation left. I know three is sugar but I was thinking maybe as a special treat.

I work for a company that makes soda machines. The frozen ones still have carbonation. Not as much but they still contain carbonation. Freezing actualy holds the carbonation.

This may sound like a dumb question, but I do not understand the carbonation thing and my Dr. never mentioned it. Are carbonated beverages not allowed because they will hurt the band, or us somehow, or is this just something that gives people discomfort. I don't understand why - is it the gas? I haven't tried it, but if diet pop doesn't bother my stomach can I have it, or is there a medical reason I can't?

I drink a little soda from time to time, even though I'm not suppose too.

From what I understand the carbonation expands the pouch, and can cause slippage. And I think all that is uncomfortable.

The makers of the lapband have said that no carbonated beverages are allowed because it can cause slipage and a possible band replacement. Me personally I would never risk having it when my doctor and the makers both say its a big no no. Its just not worth it and if my band slips bad enough that I need a replacement my insurance wont cover it.

the frozen idea sure does sound good ....

      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.
