I've never seen or heard of this. I live just a couple hours from Ontario (we have the same weather) and i'm supprised that I hadn't heard anybody talk about this. I will have to check it out myself. Its -27 today here so it would be perfect to try this...

It is called supercooled Water. If the water is extremely pure, as in has very little to no particulate in the water, there will not be any nucleation sites in the liquid, which is required to start the freezing process. Once the bottle is shaken or disturbed, air bubbles introduced to the liquid will act as nucleation sites around which the water will begin freezing. Once it begins freezing, the ice will spread until the entire bottle is frozen.

I grew up about 2hrs from where this was supposedly filmed and have never heard of it. It is -27C (-8F) here today and I might just put a bottle on my patio tonight - thinking it was more 'misting' or iced up on the bottle than anything.

Not sure if that works, but last week it was -40 here (literally, the second coldest place on the planet that day) and my husband took a cup of Water outside, threw it into the air, and it froze/evaporated before coming back down. Very very very cold that week.

      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!
