Question:
I LOVE LIME-FLAVORED PERRIER WATER. Anyone else like Perrier and drink it post-op?

Was wondering if this caused any problems. I know I will have to wait until I can tolerate the "fizzy" water post-op but I LOVE IT and hate that I would have to give it up!    — Debra L. H. (posted on November 24, 2002)

As near as I can tell it's really no different that drinking soda - I believe it's calorie free, right? So wait until you are fully healed - a couple of months is when I started back on diet soda. I had some trouble with it in the beginnning, but none now.

As a nurse i learned in school that carbonation makes the body less able to absorb calcium. Since i understand that we have a hard time with calcium i would just be careful.-jenn
