Carbonation/Cravings/Weight!!!

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone-

I am 32 weeks along in my pregnancy - I go for my check up

tomorrow...but three weeks ago I had successfully gained

28 lbs. GASP! I was then told I would most likely continue

to gain apprx. 1 lb per week until delivery. I almost passed

out. That will be a total of about 40 pounds. I can't

believe it. I'm so scared that I have stretched my pouch

and that I won't be able to get this weight off.

Another thing - I am 2 years post-op. I had my surgery

in August of 2001. I have not put a carbonated beverage

to my lips in over two years and honestly have not missed

it...lately though..it is ALL I crave. The cravings are

so bad I've dreamed about them. I finally succumbed and

took little baby sips but I feel like a failure now!

I'm so worried about what my pregnancy is doing to my body

long-term. Does anyone else have carbonation cravings?

Penny,

I too have carbonation cravings. My surgeon said he didn't have a

problem with one pop a day as long as patients were past 6 months out.

I treat myself to a tangerine diet rite.

I'm 14 weeks along and I started having the carbonation

cravings a few weeks ago. I tried 7-Up and it hurt my

pouch so badly, then I kept craving it still, so I tried

some Coke and that didn't hurt at all. I have stopped

though because it was scaring me so it's just something we

have to battle. Unfortunately something else to add to the

list. I wouldn't beat yourself up for trying it just don't

do it anymore if you can help it.

I've been craving diet coke for the last few weeks - I am 35 weeks. I have

gained 24lbs as of this morning...are you sure that part of your weight gain

isn't water? I know I had a couple weeks go by where I lost weight because I

was holding on to all the water I could drink.

Good luck!

I think the tolerance of soda is an individual issue. My surgeon

allows it while others in my area forbid it. I was a complete diet

coke freak before surgery but when I tasted it after surgery it

tasted like battery acid to me for the first 6-9 months. I'm 16

months postop (2 months pregnant) and now it doesn't bother me. I

still don't crave it like I did preop and probably sip on one diet

soda every week or two. If you can tolerate it and it is diet, I

wouldn't beat yourself up over an occasional soda.
