I love sparkling Water. Out of all the things that need to change to be successful this will be the hardest for me.

Omg me too - I am going to miss my club soda and sparkling Water. I am also going to miss chugging water. It will be worth it in the end......hopefully!

You will probably be able to chug Water again by year one. I can chug water basically at the same rate as pre-op at 2 years.

You can probably have carbonation down the road if it doesn't bother you. A sleeve isn't a pouch. I have carbonation every once in a while, it doesn't bother me, but it isn't something I seek out or purchase on a regular basis.

Good to know... I'm willing to let it all go for better health but knowing there is possibility of a cold drink of refreshing crisp bubble Water in my future makes me oh so happy!

I am addicted to carbonation and slowly trying to get myself off of it. I found myself wondering if you take the carbonation out of diet Mt. Dew, will I be able to handle it eventually? But that probably is not a good thought since it will be hard enough to even get regular Water intake down for a while. I love to chug water. I find myself trying so so so hard to remember to sip my water!

I can already nearly chug and I'm like 12 days post op. Is it a mental thing? I have no pain so I don't know. I'm definitely planning on having diet soda again though, maybe at like 6 months out.

I'm almost 3 years post-op and can't chug anything. I can take regular sized sips of Water, 2-3 in a row at most. No baby sips, but also no chugging like before surgery.

As for carbonation, I can do something that is *lightly* carbonated once in a while. A sugar free Red Bull left out for a few minutes, or a few sips of a very, very dark beer (I don't really care for beer anyway, but I have tried the carbonation factor, just to see...lol). Champagne, sparkling water like la croix, any kind of soda...kills. Blahhhh. So much pressure in my sleeve!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
