soda fix

I tried searching this but did not find anything.

Has anyone tried to make popsicles out of their favorite soda to get their soda fix?

I have read that the carbonation escapes during the freezing process.

I'm only 5 days out and the only thing I have been craving is a big ole glass of ice cold soda. (Diet soda of course)

I don't plan on doing this right now, but if I can at least know that it is something I can do, the craving might lessen.

Any thoughts??

  • Wish I could help, but I gave up soda. Just didn't seem worth all the trouble. If you find out, or try it, post here. There's a lot people that would love to know the answer.

    If you are not still in the healing stages, you might try one of these. I love them. It is flavored sparkling Water. The carbonation is very light. They are a bit expensive IMO at $5/six pack o

  • That's a decision for you to make, or ask your nut

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm not asking anyone to decide for me, just wondering if it even works or if anyone knows about the carbonation.

Hey if the carbonation a gone go for it. It's all about moderation though. So don't become a soda Popsicle mega eater!

I gave it up too, awhile ago, but for some reason I just keep thinking about it. Believe me I'm not doing anything against the rules, but some one suggested it to me today so I just thought I'd ask. I will ask at my one week Dr visit and let you know what the doc says about it. Even if it's something that I can't do for months that's fine at least I'll know, right.

I haven't had an actual soda since my band has been put in the whole carbonation part scares me but I know what I mean about the craving part sometimes when I absolutely crave it I I go get a small slurpee the coke flavored but that is when I am reaching my breaking point I dunno how it would effect the sleeve getting sleeved tomorrow

The main reason I drank diet soda was for the carbonation. Soda has absolutely no appeal to me minus the carbonation, but I am interested to hear how the Popsicle taste. :)

You might leave the pop out in a glass over night, then freeze it, idk if freezing does get out the carbonation but i know that leaving it out will. I misunderstood, i thought you were asking if it was ok to do, not if it worked :-)

Oh wow, I am so going to try this with diet soda.

Ill have to buy some Popsicle molds first tho

I'm still not sure about the carbonation so i'm not ready to try it yet.

I forgot to ask about it today at my Dr appt.

I made mine earlier, so I will let you know tomorrow how its gone

Ok,

Made and they are not good. I put to my lips and I feel a little zing, so I think it has something to do with carbonation. Also it's like most of the flavour is gone too and it virtually tastes just like wAter in sections. I'm goin to try again with flat lemonade and see how it goes

If you are not still in the healing stages, you might try one of these.

I love them. It is flavored sparkling Water. The carbonation is very light. They are a bit expensive IMO at $5/six pack or $1 each at Walmart. But a couple a week shouldn't break the bank.

Thanks for trying it Mini, I'm still on stage 2, so I didn't want to try it out yet.

OTR, I have seen these drinks at my grocery store, I will def try them out when I can. Thanks!!!

I recently found at the grocery store in the crystal light aisle a single drink mix like it that has squirt orange crush and crush grape with 10 calories and no sugar that you put in a 16.9ounce Water bottle that tastes like soda without carbonation. I love it i was a big soda drinker so it's perfect for me.
