Bubly carbonated water

[Mfrayne 1]

Just wondering if anyone has tried these. I have had them before surgery but wondering if they are okay for after.

check with your surgeon. Some of them don't want you to drink carbonated beverages at all after surgery - as in for the rest of your life - and others are OK with it once you're out a ways and your stomach can handle it (mine can't - so I gave up trying). At any rate, even for those surgeons who are OK with it after you're out a few months, I'd be very surprised if they gave you the green light while you're still healing.

My particular surgeon doesn't want anyone to drink anything carbonated as he says it stretches the pouch back out. However, a lot of people can't give up their carbonated stuff so he says it's allowed after a year, but he doesn't recommend it.

I’m not good with sparkling Water or carbonated drinks unless I let them sit for a while to reduce some of the gas (get tightness then terrible hiccups).
Do a test by pouring a glass and letting it go a little flat and see how you go.

I tried a cup of seltzer at about 12 weeks post surgey and never again. I even watered it down and had plenty of ice and still the stomach pains were horrible
