I am currently 6 weeks out and am craving a slurpee. I have 3 little girls and we get slurpee's after their T-Ball games. When did you have a slurpee again?

:) Thanks!

I have tasted one and it was way too sweet. I will have to try the sugar free ones. I think as long as you count your calories, having one here or there won't hurt. I have an occasional Diet Coke with no issues what so ever.

You should take your girls...and then take drinks out of theirs. I think you will find you get your fix pretty quickly. I love tasting my son's foods and drinks! He is 10, but nice enough to share.

The other day I would've maimed someone for an icee. I ended up making my own. It was fairly passable and it did the trick of curbing my craving:

1 packet of SF to go mix in drink powder (I used fruit punch.. didn't realize I had cherry until yesterday)

half a 16.9 bottle of Water

about 3-4 cups of ice

all in the blender.

Like I said, it was barely an icee but it definitely curbed my craving for one which I guess was a craving for "sweet fruity" and the texture of the crushed ice. I drank on it all day and as the ice melted, it didn't taste watered down at all because I only used half the bottle of Water to make up for the ice.

I'd kill to have 7-11 here. In the aftermath of my wife's RnY, the sugar free Slurpees were one thing that kept her going. We moved away from Richmond so I won't have them once I leave my parents' house in the area after my one week checkup give or take.

If you buy into the don't use a straw stuff, Slurpees are easy enough to eat with a spoon. As for me, when I encounter a 7-11 post surgery, I'll be sucking one down with straw (sugar free of course). I buy into carbonation being bad, but I don't buy into the straw thing personally.

I think I looked into that one and the sugar free slurpee actually has a bunch of net carbs. I would not get the huge size but the small size would be ok I am sure.

I drove to 3 different 7-11s a couple of weeks ago looking for a sugar-free Slurpee. The machine was broken at two of the stores, only the sugar-free tap mind you, and not ready to be poured at the 3rd. I took it as a sign that a Slurpee wasn't in the cards for me. I still haven't had one, but I don't want it anymore.

Get a small sugar free one. I don't believe is deprivation!

Here is an alternative I use,, I go to a convience store or gas station that has the small nuggets of ice for fountain drinks, by the largest Styrofoam cup and add SF Tourani Syrup and it last all day and curbs the desire!

According to the nutritional information I found on livestrong.com, a crystal light slurpee has nine grams of carbs. I guess you just have to plan for those carbs in your daily totals.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
