Acidic Foods/Drinks?

Do you, or did you have, problems with acidic foods or drinks after your surgery?  My urologist told me to drink lemonade daily for the type of kidney stones I get but I wondered if it would be considered an iritant.

Thanks,

Well, I drink tea and various kinds of diet soda daily with no problem. Did that starting a couple months out.

Wait, you can drink diet soda?????????????  Seriously???????????   I haven't had a soda since I put this stupid crap band in me over 4 years ago. 

OMG I hope this is true of everyone.  I'd love to have a diet soda every now and again...

YMMV, but yup, I drink the stuff daily. Makes me a sinner in the eyes of some purists.

Sure. I drink diet soda, no problem. Those fresh out of surgery might want to let it go a little flat at first, but later on out it doesn't seem to be a problem with most people.

I had no issues with acidic foods that I recall.

Confession time - 8 weeks out this week, started sipping on Diet Canada Dry Ginger Ale (cuz it is made with real ginger) last week. Got rid of that horrible acidy tummy feeling. Lots of ice and SLOW tiny sips. I use it as a treat at night. Started drinking sugar free ice tea... which I thought I would hate, but like it. :) Oh... and garden tomatoes... my stomach seems quite happy to have them :)

I had a lot of problems with acidic food for the first 7 months, and had to continue taking acid blockers after the first 6 months. Tomatoes, lemons, oranges, it all felt like battery acid in the tummy. However, I could tolerate soda as long as I did't chug it. everyone's different, you may have no problems at all, who knows :)
