Carbonated drinks

I drink several diet cokes a week and no issues that I know of.

Lori, I have drank Rootbeer which has always been my fav. I tried the diet and it was okay but on a very rare occasion I will get a regular and I get the small bottled one. It usually lasts me about a week. I pretty much just sip on it when I feel the need. No problems so far. I have never been a big soda person so I didn't have a fear of it. I like water so mostley just drink that. Anna

I tried drinking a diet coke a few months back and it tasted so bad. I am not kidding you, I had dh stop to get me 2 different diet cokes from different places (we were on vacation) and one of those diet cokes were from McD's (who has always had the best diet coke) and none of them tasted good to me. I now have myself hooked on Iced Tea, my body craves the caffeine. I really don't miss my diet coke. I used to drink a 2 liter a day too.

Hey Lori!! I have not tried carbonated beverages yet...I bought some flavored water a few weeks ago and took a sip before I realized it was carbonated and I stopped drinking it at that point. I have only had water since surgery and in the early stages I had water down juice.

Ive tried, but it hurts and I get very burpy! I like my Coffee, very much so. I don't drink much soda unless it's a sip and almost flat.

I've had some carbonated pop just a few times. I usually just pour about 4 oz in a cup and that satisfies my craving. I don't get any pain I just burp alot. I haven't gone crazy not having carbonated drinks. I was a pop drinker before surgery but now it doesn't taste that great to me so I don't really miss it much. I have it about once a month. My first time I waited until I was 6 months out and when I tested it I didn't have a reaction so I guess some of us are different for sure. Deb
