Do you drink carbonated beverages?



Recommended Posts

We were all told the same thing, to avoid carbonation. I know it doesn't seem to bother some folks. Your experiences? I'm about 3 months post op.

I am just over five months out and have not had any yet. Going to try some seltzer soon and see how it feels. I really miss that!

I tried some carbonation after 6months, I had a small beer in holidays, a white one so it would not be too heavily carbonated. It didn't feel bad but it took me a long time to drink it...

I never loved sodas or sparkling Water so I didn't feel the need to try those again. I tried a sip of "champagne" at a wedding and it felt plain horrible.

ALL the people in my program said the exact same thing. I am learning though, that not everything they tell us is specifically tailored to the sleeve. I never really cared much for sodas, but I do miss a cold beer now and then. I will probably give it a try when beer drinking weather arrives next spring.

I tried a sip here and there and I don't care for it anymore. If I get something with carbonation I let

It go flat. Lipstick lady is right it doesn't stretch anything. Avoiding carbonation is about avoiding discomfort and empty calories.

Awesome input guys. I was addicted to soda but I haven't touched any at all because I'm afraid to open the flood gates again but also they've put the fear of carbonated beverages in me. I crave flavored carbonated Water these days opposed to soda.

I started drinking carbonated beverages around 4 months out and still do every day. There's nothing like a cold La Croix! Sometimes I burp a few times while drinking, but it never hurts my stomach and I take small sips instead of gulps. My doctor said as long as I'm comfortable, it's fine!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
