NurseBec 14 Posted December 22, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clarevoyant 347 Posted December 22, 2016 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! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianGuy 350 Posted December 22, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App 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.

ocgirl15 667 Posted December 22, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NurseBec 14 Posted December 22, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ms89 9 Posted December 23, 2016 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!
