soda fix



Recommended Posts

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??

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.

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.

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 :-)

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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
