Hey i've got a question, & i haven't seen it yet. Just wondering about soda, right i know the fizz & stuff. BUT what about a 7-11 slurpee? has anyone tried that yet?

I get cravings for a soda pop.

Hello,

I can drink a soda if i pour it out and let some of the fizz evaporate.There was a post on frozen marguerita's over the week end or this morining and the person said that it might have numbed her belly and that she didn't feel like she ate too much until later.I guess you wouldn't want all that ice sitting in your belly making you feel ill.that is if you are filled tight.Maybe if you drink it really slow?

I was able to slup down a slurpee just fine! Not doing so well with soda's though!

I'm not even 2 weeks post op but I've enjoyed a couple things anyway. I had a huge family wedding this weekend, which meant I had tons of people in town. Everyone was drinking, so I slowly enjoyed a decaf with Bailys and even licked the whipped cream. Last night I had a shot of lemon liquor, which I sipped very slowly. I've been eating popsicles, too. I think my belly would tolerate a Slurpie if I took little sips and let the ice melt before swalling. I certainly won't drink like this all the time, but I don't want to miss out on special occasions - like a big, Italian wedding!

7-11 has Crystal Light slurpees now too! They're very good. I get them sometimes when I'm in the mood for something cold and sweet. I can only drink about 3/4's of the small ones though. However, since I can't drink a huge slurpee like I used to, if I don't like the Crystal Light flavor of the day, I get a regular slurpee. Hmm, maybe I'll have to stop at 7-11 on my way to work.

And you most certainly shouldn't have to! Having fun is a part of life, and that's why we had the band...to experience *life* again!

Slurpees are good but have very high calorie value (500)

... to me no liquid is worth wasting those ammount of calories since liquid goes right through the band. I have heard if you want to drink your soda to let it sit out for awhile to lose the carbonation. I have yet to try it though.

Good Luck

I agree that the sugar & calories aren't worth it, however, when I start feeling well enough to go to the movies, I'm sure I'll grab a slurpie and some gummy bears. As long as I don't drink them all the time. I even water-down my Gatorade and fruit juices to try to save a few sugar calories.

mac donalds milkshakes are good too

DONT DO THE GUMMY BEARS YET !

Do yourself a big favor and wait a couple of months....

THEY HURT!

No Gummy bears! I agree

Think Water.. I try different ways to spice it up, lemonaid, gatoraid..catch that drift, water down anything.

Delarla I want to go to your weddings! I'll drive

I wouldn't dare eat a gummy bear right now, but what about in 6 months? I once voice my concerns over movie popcorn - life without movie popcorn may kill me, so another band friend said I could have gummy bears at the movies. I'm not even ready for mashed potatoes yet, but what am I going to munch on in 6 months at the movies? Junior Mints sound easy. I don't plan on keeping any goodies in the house, but if I go to Disneyland, a wedding, movies, or parties, I want to hang like the normal folks. Advice anyone?

I have no problems with popcorn. Gummy bears are usually okay, but sometimes they give me problems. I'm a bad girl at the movies...I get a child's size popcorn and a box of raisinettes and mix them together. I eat about half of the thing of popcorn/raisinette combo, then give it away. Before surgery, I would have eaten a tub of popcorn and various chocolates. I still allow myself that stuff, just in much smaller portions now. Relax, you will be normal!

Fabulous! Movie popcorn was going to be my biggest problem. I'm still healing from surgery and my recovery isn't going so well, but I sure look forward to the day when I can enjoy a movie and a lil' popcorn!

Movie popcorn with extra butter and the giant box of jr. mints dumped out on top.

And the movie was about...??? lol

Donali, I'll be right over. What movie do you want to go see? Or doesn't it matter? lol
