Guest guest Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 Carbonated beverages HELP with digestion??? This is the first time I've ever heard such a thing. I've always been told that we should stay away from carbonated drinks because they can stretch our pouches. As the weather temps increase I really miss my diet pop but I don't want to mess up the weight I've lost! I am curious about what others have heard. I know a couple people that drink diet pop (very small amounts) but I've mostly heard negative comments about it. and Patty, can you give us more info on what you've heard about it being okay? Thanks!!!

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. > > Vandever > LAP RNY 4-6-04 > 305/256/165 > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 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! Helena (papa11h@...)
