Susann, small amounts of soda made with sugar should be find. I would stick w/ 8 ounces per sitting–and adjust per your tolerance.

Would something like that be ok? Something like a ginger ale or Sprite type drink? Would there be a limit on how much one could drink at one time?

My question is how do you regain GI equilibrium after the procedure? My digestive system is always so messed up that I don’t know what to eat as I return to solid food.
