Hello, has anyone tried the Ice drinks? Its l like soda. Also the new ginger ale zero calories soda? Is it a bad idea?

I'm just going to sit here with my protein drink and watch.

If it's carbonated, I don't want it.....I'm a soda addict and there's no side skirting the issue here......

I sit here and watch from the side line too. Have fun and hope you enjoy it.....

I'm not sure what an "ice drink" is? but ginger ale has carbonation in it.

Omg! It's called pop! :-D

I'm sipping my decaf iced tea with Splenda w/ Fiber.

How about we call it soda pop and then both east and west coasts are covered along with the heartland.

I can compromise.

if it is carbonated, I would stay far away from it.

The "ice drink" she's referring to are these fruit-flavored carbonated drinks. Super yummy- I drank them pre-sleeve. They are sugar free.

For OP- some people do choose to drink soda pop after they are sleeved. I don't because whether or not it's bad, I choose to believe it's bad...haven't had that bit o' heaven in 4 months....

Actually, I don't think Iced drinks are so bad. Carbonation is on the light side. I had these once or twice post op only because they are SF and they looked appealing. It was many months ago, probably around month 1. This is just my experience. I have not had any since then but would probably have hem again if nothing else were readily available.

Unless you're from New England and over the age of 40, then it's called "tonic"
