Lesson learned....the hard way!
I was sleeved in Dec., and am doing well. I'm down almost 70 lbs, never had an issue with fluids, protein is doing much better. I'm finding what I can and can not eat. Well, idiotic me thought the sparking juice in the fridge looked oooohhhh so good. I drank probably just an ounce or two. About an hour later I was hugging the toilet. It was awful, painful, and well...lesson taught the hard way. No more bubbles for me...ever!
Thank you so much for posting this!
At the grocery store yesterday, I was tempted by some zero calorie flavored drink. I was ready to buy it, then saw that it was carbonated. Back to the shelf it went.
I really miss San Pellegrino

I can do maybe an ounce or so without being uncomfortable, but not more. And I have a large sleeve. Thankfully I am not a soda drinker though, so I never miss it. Sorry you had such a hard lesson, but kudos go you for being ready to give it up!

I was a major soda drinker before surgery. Loved Diet Dr. Pepper and Diet Cherry Coke. I drank one on the way to the office every morning, then had at least two more during the day, then one more at night.
I do miss the flavor sometimes, but I just know that it's not in the cards for me.
