Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Dear laurette, My surgeon has his list of 9 rules for his patients to follow. One of the rules, no carbonated beverages. In my research of gastric bypass surgery, I came across a study that was done on the habits of successful gastric bypass patients, who had lost their weight and kept it off. One of the habits is no carbonated beverages! They also did a study of people who regained their lost weight, you guessed it....they drink carbonated beverages. Do what you will, but is it worth possibly streching your pouch, over a diet soda? Good luck! Ellen very greatful surgery 3/15/04 440/375/???? 65 lbs lost in the 10 weeks !!!! Woopie!!!

Subject: Re: Re: Coca-Cola Question 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. Laurette 4/23/04 St. Charity, Cleveland, Ohio 309/290@surgery/265/??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
