Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 Did I see on this list someone mentioned their Dr. told them that drinking soda would stretch the stomach and possibly pull out sutures? Ok - so heres my question - I know others can drink diet sodas (out from newly post-op). I know most of you try to stay away from caffine. What exactly do you drink post-op besides water, crystal light, tang sugarfree, gatoraide....? Can one EVER drink sodas again? I can deal with ice tea, as I like that, but I have a friend who thinks he cannot live without his diet sodas, and who doesn't drink tea or coffee. If he got switched, would it mean he could never ever drink diet sodas again? Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2001 Report Share Posted August 11, 2001 Carole, I dont make it habit of buying sodas for drinking at home.....we stick with water, iced tea, Iced Botanicals from Costco, talking rain flavored water occasionally, protein frappes etc...... I drink carmel frappes I make at home with instant coffee and protein..... When we go out to dinner or lunch we do order sodas and split one....but that is the only time we drink them! For some reason, after surgery we just did not crave sodas anymore! Judie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
