Slurpee??? Anyone? Anyone??



Recommended Posts

First I was wondering if we could have slurpee's. Second, if yes, at what stage? Third, can I have my pepsi as long as it's in a slurpee form? hehehe

Of course you can.....it's only sugar and carbs about 270 to 320 calories. I would say that is a mushy LOL

They do have crystal light slurpee now. No you can't have pepsi in any form. LOL

slurpee's are grt but watch the cal count, soda should be on the no list for you. work the plan and it will happen. follow the advice of those that have gone before us, its there expertise with what works and what does not that has helped me. two months out and down 76lbs

7 11 has slurpees, in crystal light!!!! and those coke slurpees do have carbonation.... it has LOTS of sugar....I know the crystal light tastes a little sour and a little to sweet... but i add more ice, divide a large for hubby and me, he drinks it like it is I add a whole nother large cup of ice. But I really dont like sweet stuff.

I don't like the crystal lite slurpees, and I've only had like 2 of the regular ones since being banded (maybe a couple more than 2, it's been 2 years, lol).

My fiance got one a few weeks ago and I took a sip... BLEAH. I don't like them anymore!

Boy, that much sugar these days gives me incredible stomach pain from gas. (TMI? hehe) Definitely not weight loss conducive food anyway... the guideline post-banding is no liquid calories except for your daily dairy. For optimum success, better decide now to just stay away from caloric liquids even if they won't make you die of gas pain. :phanvan

Actually, the Coke/Pepsi Slurpees ARE carbonated. A couple of years ago this came up on another board and someone called the folks at Southland (7/11). They were very proud of the fact that they are able to retain the carbonation, even during the freezing process. That's the Slurpee secret!

Yup, slurpees are carbonated! -and not just the soda flavors!

It makes 'em light and fluffy. Ever notice the air pockets, light weight cup, or tongue tingle?

a couple of years ago when I was trying to lose weight (I did, 50lbs! which I put back on :phanvan), my dietician told me that the Big Gulp Slurpee I was drinking everyday contained between 800-900 calories! 800-900!! :omg: Now, that was a Big Gulp, but if the "regular" Slurpee is even a third the size of the highest estimate given by my dietician, that'd mean it would contain 300 calories, or, if you rather think of it like this: 1/4 of your daily calories (if you're on a 1200 calorie diet). Yikes! Grumble.

Coco

ps--I was drinking the Slurpee because I thought: "well, surely *this* is mostly ice and air and can't possibly as bad for me as the, ahem, eight oatmeal chocolate chip Cookies I eat every night." Sigh. Pitiful, I was, says Yoda-Coco.

Uhmm, post band right after surgery, I loved the shaved ice snow cone things. Too much sugar, I know, but the ice felt soooo goooood on my tummy.

Learn something new every day... I didn't think there was carbonation in slurpee's (high calories yes). The crystal light slurpees are G-R-O-S-S imho.

bummer~

      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.

        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!
