Coca-Cola :)

[Guest guest]

Hi all...

I think my biggest challenge post-op may be that Nectar of the Gods in a red

can, Coca-Cola.

I seriously like Coke. I think if I was given a choice that I could either

have all the Coke I wanted but no food, or all the food I wanted but no

Coke, I'd seriously consider going with the soda. Though I'm not a big

sugar-eater in general (ice cream, cake, cookies, etc. don't do much for

me), this one's going to be tough I think.

I've read lots of posts indicating I cannot have sugared sodas post-op. I

have a couple questions.

- Is soda prohibited because it will interfere with weight loss (due to 100%

sugar absorption), or is there some other gastric/digestive reason?

- Are there any heavy soda-drinkers out there who basically lost interest in

soda post-op? I think this would be the ideal, if I was to just not care

for it, as I hear is often the case with sugars in general (ice cream,

etc.).

- Anyone out there " cheat " on the soda issue and still lose weight?

Thanks much for any insight on my dilemma.
