Slurpees....



Recommended Posts

I think i know the answer but then i'm not so sure so here goes....

Are the slurpees from 7-11 carbonated?!?! Man i could go for one of the sugar free ones but then im not sure if they are carbonated or not?!

My guess is they all are because that's how they stay so light and fluffy...Anyone know for certain?? :)

Are slurpees officially gone forever?

I believe they are. They pump co2 into the machine during the freezing process. That's why I stick to sugar free sno cones!

If they are it really isn't noticable. When and if I do drink soda I drink it half flat (Doc says thats fine as long as it's not bubbly) and I think the slurpee is less carbonated than my flat soda. Like my flat soda, I stir the slurpee around anyway so it flattens it and makes it a little watery, it's easier to drink that way. I drink a sugar free slurpee once a week and haven't had problems. And FYI, just because it's sugar free doesn't mean it's calorie free, there's 20 calories and 8 carbs per 8oz! So be careful, because I can easily drink a 32oz and not even bat an eye.. they're so good.

I'm 49 and never had a slurpee. We don't have 7-11's. I've traveled a lot, but never stopped for a slurpee. Got to find me one.

Actually, the carbonation is dead in slurpees. The freezing makes it flat. If you let a slurpee melt you'll notice there's zero carbonation.

I had one last month because I was craving the taste of Coke. I just had a small as a treat and it totally took care of my craving.

I'm not absolutely sure....but I think they are carbonated. I have had the smallest size, sugar-free slurpee. I drank it slow, but felt burpee...so I havent had one since.

I live a few feet of a 7-11 and yes they are carboated. But the carbonation is so minute, that you hardly notice, its basically flat. Like Mis73 said, freezing kills it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
