I have trouble drinking standard Water, and so I have started drinking sparkling flavored water. My fiancé just showed me a YouTube video of a gentlemen about to take the bariatric journey and one of the things he said is no carbonated beverages whatsoever. Is this true? What are your thoughts on this? I had surgery five years ago and just recently started drinking the flavored sparkling water.

No. No carbonated beverages. I use Crystal Light instead in regular Water.

Your stomach will expand and you will lose the tool you've worked so hard for :(

My surgeon said that I could have flat drinks. So I make my sparkling Water flat before I drink it. Just burp the bottle until all the bubbles are gone.

I was told as long as it's flat I could drink it. But I haven't had anything like that since I was pre-op. It expands your stomach/pouch if it's not flat. Something I don't need right now.

I am allowed NO carbonation! It can expand your pouch. I don't like plain Water either so I use either Crystal Light or Mio flavoring. Or I have Decaf ice tea.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
