Coke (a-cola of course:p)

Is this a problem post bypass?

I am addicted to Cherry coke and tbh... It would be kind of great if its not drinkable lol I can cope with coffee, but if there is cherry coke in the house that is all I will drink all day long, and I hate the diet stuff and coke zero. Full fat coke and it is not my friend

Please tell me there's a good chance I will be unable to drink it after?

I was told that I would not be able to drink fizzy drinks after op and I used to drink quite a lot!! However she did say I might get away with a barcardi and coke as it would be sipped and not gulped!! Hope this helps x

You won't be able to drink fizz at all. I was told if I was going to the pub to get a diet coke with loads of ice & swish the fizz out of it with a straw. I've tried and it works. If there's bubbles it makes you feel ill.

Not just the fizz that's a problem, the sugar in full fat coke will cause dumping syndrome aswell.

Purpe you really shouldn't drink the fizzy stuff. You need to eat 80 g of protein per day as well as a bit of fruit and veg and a bit of carbs because you just can't live on protein - that's as bad as the liquid stage. Once you've got the food side organised you won't have room for fizzy drinks because they fill you with gas and burping doesn't seem to happen so easily and when it does you are likely to bring your food up with the gas.

..... also Shel is right about the sugar and don't think about drinking spirits. You need basic quality food that leaves you feeling full longer.

Thats great news thanks girls!

I know I sound rather silly being happy about that! But I have tried to give it up sooo many times and I have managed a good handful of times too, then I go to asda and its on sale and I think "I'll just get one pack and have a treat because I've been so good" and I'm stuck on it again. I will be really happy if I can never drink it again!

Not only will you dump coz the sugar also its been proven fizzy drinks stretch the pouch ,personally i wouldnt want that to happen as then you will lose some of the restriction and gain weight .. xx

aww hun that sucks well it could've just been a one off and you should still stay away from it incase it does cause you to dump! There are lots of lovely ladies with very real warnings about pouch stretching and its all just empty calories, so we know better! We will do better, we owe it to ourselfs

I no its just so hard but I cant go bk to the way I was I used to choose pop instead of meals. I was told I cud drink fizzy after its been stirred a bit from my dietician, on sunday I just tried swilling it round my mouth a bit lol xx

i always drunk 2 litters of full fat coke a day and if i didnt have any i would get in a right state it was like a drug to be when i started my pre opp diet 2 weeks ago i just stopped drinking it i aint had any fizz at all only water coffee and juice thats it and i aint really wanted it at all i stopped it now coz i know that after opp i cant have it so there was no piont drinking diet coke while on pre opp x

 

[joffy01582]

i used op last august ..............nas juice does the job now (i try to alternate the flavours so that its not so boring )

 

[witchingmoon]

I used to drink 6-8 litres of the evil stuff a DAY!
I found the will power and it was very hard but one day said no more that was 2 years ago and yes I did still crave it when hubby had some when out but I have never given in to it or just had a treat as I would undo all my hard work.
I would do my best to get off it before your op.
Good luck
