Have any of you drank Sparkling Ice?

[cuchas 51]

It has 30 calories, 7g of sugar, and no Protein. I was wondering if any of you have had this? It is carbonated... I didn't know it was carbonated when I drank some. I am 2 weeks and my friend gave me a sip of it and I was immediately taken aback by the carbonation. It didn't hurt or anything going down and I didn't have any problems for the rest of the night, but was wondering what you guys thought of it?

I haven't taken any sips since then which was on Thursday!

It is marketed as being "lightly" carbonated. I like it too and have been drinking it occasionally pre op. But as with soda, I will not be drinking it post op. Lightly or not, I just don't think any carbonation is worth it after surgery. But that's just me.

Both the sugar and the carbonation would automatically make it an "avoid" according to the directions I got post-op. I would avoid it. There are other options like crystal light and mio that are zero calorie and non carbonated if you want something with flavor. One thing I really like is True Lemon. It is just lemon crystals in little sweet-n-low type packets. It is non-caloric and it doesn't have artificial sweeteners. https://www.truelemon.com/true-lemon-cooking They also make a product called True Lemonade which is sweetened. Typically in stores I can only find True Lemonade, which I've never used, so I order the True Lemon online. I may be looking in the wrong place because I know some stores do sell it.

I have had some sparkling flavored Water that has zero calories and no sugars. I also have no problems drinking from a straw. I don't drink a lot of it but I have had some here and there.

I personally can Not have carbonation at all. Really upsets my stomach. Even uf i ket the drink go flat. I'm 7 weeks post op.

Also too much sugar causes diarrhea for me

Good luck!!

My surgeon said absolutely no bubbles post-op because bubbles make you want to smack.

Not me. Too much sugar for me. I keep my drinks sugar & calorie free.
