It can lead to ulcers and introduce a lot of air into the stomach, which could make it expand. I've tried a few sips and I just burp it back up almost immediately. <br /><br />I miss the bubbles, but I miss the taste, too. But I don't actually think about it anymore. Once in a great while I crave a sip.<br /><br />It's amazing how much the taste buds change when you eliminate regular soda from your diet! You get to the point where it tastes like sugary syrup.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155109643839967837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5668404006283713530.post-81247139043506821202015-12-11T19:02:07.725-05:002015-12-11T19:02:07.725-05:00I became a soda water/mineral water addict some ye...I became a soda water/mineral water addict some years ago, I love the tangy zap of it. My 2 litre water intake every day is only possible because of it - I find plain water to be a bit boring. If I take a sip of other kinds of soda now, it is impossibly sweet, the only one I can stomach is lemon squash, everything else feels like drinking straight sugar.<br /><br />I think I heard that carbonation is not great for those who have had WLS. If that were not true, and what you loved about soda was the bubbles, then soda water might be worth a try. :) I sometimes tart it up with fruit especially in summer - the fruit takes on the flavour of the soda water, that tangy flavour, and the soda water takes on some of the fruit flavour. Strawberries, watermelon, mangoes, berries of all kinds, I've even put carrots in there! :)Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08934143064049972234noreply@blogger.com
