Missing the fizz?

I'm off pop now, for good and for always. I do find myself craving carbonation though. Doesn't have to be pop, just anything fizzy. Anyone else feel the same? Have you been able to get over it? I had a sip of some fizzy flavoured water last night at a friend's, not realizing that's what she had given me, and now the fizz craving is worse than ever! I usually just carry the liquid crystal light around with me to add to water, that way I have complete control over my drinks. But I do still want the carbonation!

The carbonation is my problem, it seems to want to come right back up. I miss it sometimes, then I have a sip and remember why I can't drink it. That may change, but I doubt it and I honestly don't care most of the time. I love my water. 

Maybe that will be what happens to me too - after surgery I'll try it, feel terrible, and it will turn me off carbonation for good (or for usual anyway lol). Glad you are loving water, since it's the best thing for us!

I love my water also. I stopped drinking pop 3 months before my surgery, and i dont miss it at all. As a matter of fact i dont miss anything that i used to eat or drink before surgery . My focus is off all the crap i used to eat and drink, and i am cautious of what goes into my body now. I dont crave anything , i am not hungry at all, but i do know that will change as the months go by. And thats when my strength will be tested...Krista.....

I was not a soda drinker but did enjoy the odd one.  Now that I am an RNY person I miss it.  I have found that Nestea Zero which is not carbonated is a real treat for me.  It seems to fill that void.  

I was a pop drinker for sure...I had them quite regularly and since opti haven't had any and since surgery I have never missed it!!! It doesn't appeal to me AT ALL!! Somethings change...

I almost took out my 70 year old mom for her Pepsi so I feel you! Deeply!

HI,

I am 9 months out and I drink pop.

It hurts like hell unless it's flat.

And it's diet.

DId I say carbonation hurts?

I've asked  and it does not stretch your pouch. It is not recommended as for many people it is a trigger food (pop and chips, pop and pizza etc).

i completely understand...its not the pop i want its the bubbles...i LOVED LOVED PERRIER WATER WITH LEMONS AND LIMES.

I would LOVE to have a glass of it, but i have become so sensitive to EVERYTHING i am scared to even take a sip.

but I totally understand!! kinda sucks! Hope it gets easier for you!

Thanks for the sympathy guys :p I think it's mostly psychological, this carbonation craving, but I kind of discovered if I add a lot of ice to a drink so it's really cold, that kind of helps when I'm craving. Glad to know I'm not alone though!!
