Soda-----post op

My wife and myself went out for supper a few weeks ago and not paying attention i sipped a drink of her water as i got up from the table to leave.....YACK Wasn****er.....Sprite. First time fora carbonated drink since surgery and it was awful. Time warp to last ngiht...........................................We were out eating and she had a caffiene free Root Beer and again, i knew it wasn****er this time and i tried it. NASTY NASTY NASTY. Its not the sweet taste but the fizz on my tongue and maybe some of the taste. Im thinking is juice, water, and milk for me. Soda just isnt the same.

I use to be a pepsi freak had to have it........it taste so nasty now.....i have had a few carbonated sips......your still a newbie maybe later you can try a sip or two......and i am sure you also taste other things that are just to sweet..........and do not drink for 30 mins after you have eaten.........juice in small amounts as later that is wasted calories for you......and i will burp and belch for 5 mins after just a sip of the soda.....but now many do do well with it......... I will be 2 years out in 2 weeks........................where has the time gone.......

Troy, I'm on the same time-line as Angie. About a month ago, I tried a SF root beer (rb is naturally decaf). It tasted terrific..but I just don't get the taste for it very often. I've drank 6 in the time since (including that one). Each time, it has last me about 3 hours. Most restaurants only have coke or pepsi in a diet...and they aren't decaf...so I stick to water or decaf coffee usually. Sherri

I've been craving the diet RB also. I usually get a two L bottle and open it. After it has been opened a day or two most of the fizz is gone. Then I can have the taste with little or no fizz. Sometimes the carbination bothers me sometimes it dosen't. I never get anything bu****er when we go out. I usually only take a sip or two of it and I'm to cheep to buy a pop or even coffee and let it sit.

I agree Pepsi just aint what it used to be... It sound like a few weeks ago i was riding the Motorcycle with my hubby and he asked me to light his ciggerette for him... I have not lit a ciggerette for 13 years.. when I did I had t keep wipeing my tounge off with my shirt it was SO NASTY!!! No intention of doing that again... he can just pull over. Linda
