Re: Re: Coca-Cola Question

[Guest guest]

I've been told by my surgeon and his staff that we can have diet pop after

the carbonation settles. They suggest we let it sit for about 10 minutes before

drinking it. I've given up my diet coke. I'd prefer not to have it sit and

drink it warm. I usually drink diet sprite or 7up mixed with fruit juices or

even gatorade. The pop gives them a little kick. So far I haven't had any

trouble as long as I let it sit for a bit. I've also starting drinking diet

fago which isn't too bad.

You need to remember everyone is different, you and I could have the same doctor

and what works for you may not work for me and vice-versa. After my surgery I

was throwing up every morning, it wasn't normal, it was bile. I suffered

several complications, one was a small bowel obstruction, which required a

hospital stay and two enemas, so anything that helps the food break-down is one

in my book.

> Has anyone heard that a small amount of Coca-Cola will unclog

your pouch if you accidentally didn't chew well enough? I was

talking with my Aunt who is going to be having surgery on the 8th

and she told me about this. I was under the impression that if you

didn't chew ... you throw it up or wait. Thanks in advance for your

help.

I pour my Fresca into a large glass and leave it in the refrigerator for

anywhere from one to three hours until it gets flat. You would be surprised

how quickly you get used to drinking it flat, and how nasty fully carbonated

beverages taste after. If I am in a hurry, I pour the drink back and forth

between two glasses 20 or so times..... instant decarbonation!

I have heard that if you put a packet of sweetener like splenda or sweet n

low into your soda it will take the carbonation out also.
