After surgery, you will have to permanently cut out ALL bubbly beverages, regardless of their calorie count.

This is a very controversial topic amongst WLS doctors. My program doesn't forbid carbonation.

@wanda247

I was told by my doc that i will not be allowed to drink anything with carbonation

reading above posts i see some docs allow. As always, we/doc/nut are all given directions At the

end of the day - listen/follow ONLY your doc/nut.

good luck

Your welcome. I'd recommend asking your doc about carbonation. If you read this article, carbonation is discouraged because most carbonated drinks have calories and the carbonation can cause excess gas. No-where does it say that it can stretch your pouch.

LOL I don't belch all the time. I'd say no more than usual, and if I do have something carbonated, I don't notice a difference. I belch with certain foods more maybe...

I burp all the time anyway since surgery, no matter what I eat or drink, so the carbonation doesn't make a difference to me in that regard.
