Ok I had surgery 9 months ago can someone tell me are you ever able to drink carbonated waters later down the road or drink from straws.

I'm 4 months post op and I drink through a straw. As for carbonated drinks all surgeons are different. Some say never some say a year. I would discus that with them.

I am allowed to drink through a straw as long as it doesnt bother me, meaning i take in too much air my nut said. As far as carbonation, they advised against it.

No carbonated beverages here per my bariatric program. I have a friend who started soda after 5 years out. But she is strict and disciplined. Still very skinny. Good for her.

I could drink with a straw day one after surgery. My doctor said there is no damage from it. They used to ask not to but since a study no harm was done. After a few months my dietitian at my 6 month visit said I could have caffeine limited and carbonated drinks as long as they agree with me. I would check with your care provider. There is a huge difference in doctors opinions on here. Just follow yours!
