DIET COKE

[Peterborough Guy]

Fizzy drinks should be avoided as the gas and bubbles will stretch your tummy.

About 2 weeks after my op it was roasting and a girl in the same room had a tin of lemon fanta....I seriously wanted to kill her for it! I was so bitter and twisted about not being allowed fizzy drinks as pre op I was addicted to diet coke. Now as long as I have cold NAS juice or flavoured water I am more than happy. For me the risk of being uncomfortable and stretching my pouch is enough to out me off and I hate flat coke so taking the fizz out would be pointless.

Really? Stretches pouch?!!! Not heard of that at all I'm sure it's to do with the gasses. However I'm 5 months post op and manage sparkling water with slimline tonic no problems at all. Paula

My biggest fear is stretching my sleeve so for me if even one surgeon says that it can stretch its enough to put me off it. I also live off robinsons NAS these days and have to say that my family are all being influenced too!

I had my 4 month review yesterday and asked about this and my team disagreed!!!! Seems theres a lot of different opinions.............
