VSG & Carbonated Beverages
I always thought I could eat nails and not have any trouble, BUT, now I have problems with carbonated drinks. What I do now is buy the sugar free drinks in the 2 liter bottle, take off the bottle cap and leave it off for a few days. I thought this would take all the carbonation out, but there is just a little left. I still drink it but remember sip, sip, sip. It lets me know that "all is not OK in John's tummy", but I can live with it. It always helps if you put a little rum in it (settles the fizzes I think).
I have tried the same thing with beer. I took the cap off, put a bottle in the fridge, came back 2 days latter, and there was still to much fizz left. Two more days, and I drank it, but then the taste was not worth the calories. Never again.
Don't let the carbonated drinks keep you from your surgery. Crystal light comes in many flavors. You can even buy Margaretta light that comes in a powder, like Crystal light, sugar and carb free. Just add Tequila. Wow. Makes your head spin......John
