Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I couldn't tolerate soda until I was about 2 years out, and I discovered that I could tolerate it by accident. I was very thirsty when I got into a restaurant and without thinking ordered a Diet Coke. I was so thirsty that I drank some and discovered that it didn't bother me, so I drank the rest. Now, I drink soda - I go through phases, sometimes I'll go weeks without having any, other times I drink it every day. I DO know how to burp, so I'm not too worried about it hurting me. lol. What the poodle in the microwave story. Sounds more interesting than soda bubbles. ------------------------------------------------ Terry Mayers 5DollarHosting.com® http://www.5dollarhosting.com (877)-838-HOST / .... because it shouldn't cost a fortune to make a fortune! ® Re: Carbonation? Poodles or carbonation? Well, I drink diet cokes, too. Entirely too many. At least one every day, and that is way too many. Earned me a nasty look from the endocrinologist, too. My theory is that docs who say our pouches will stretch from carbonation think we are too stupid to burp. I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I CAN manage to burp. Now, grazing, that's a different animal. Painless pouch stretching. You never feel thing. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Others have mentioned it, and this applies to me as well, soda is a trigger food for me...I drink soda, I want junk food. So, I wonder, is it the carbonation or the trigger affect? I rarely drink soda, but only because it made me feel " funny " early out, and I still find it a little hard to drink unless it's de-fizzed for a while. in NJ **************************** > I was told that the reason it was not a good thing was that very early on an initial study was done of post ops in a specific region/defined quantity and amongst the folks who fared best long term with weight and other issues after surgery they sought to identify what things were common amongst those who seemed to have > achieved more of their goals. The only thing that was identified was that this group did not do carbonated beverages. I also vaguely running across something in a study somewhere confirming that. No, I cannot quote it.
