So I've had a couple of Slurpees since surgery...thinking, "Oh, I can get a small one and kind of get that soda flavor once in a while..."

I just had one tonight and just decided to check the nutrition online...I had NO idea Slurpees are carbonated! I'm sure you all have discussed this before...but I didn't know!

We were told no carbonation for two years after surgery...I drank these Slurpees with no issues...so I'm not worried I hurt my band or anything...but just in case you all didn't know...they ARE carbonated!

I will not be getting one again because I don't want to go against what is best for my band health...so I've lived and learned! Say NO to Slurpees!:frown::smile2::thumbup:

Thanks for sharing, I have been getting like one or two a week and had no idea.... I wonder if the frozen Crystal Light at Circle K is carbonated also.

I do believe that once soda is frozen that it looses all that CO2 and since it gets mix for so long in those machines i could propable bet there is no more bubbles left. But it would be the calories that i would worry about.

That could be true...but on the slurpee.com site it calls a Slurpee a "frozen carbonated beverage" so I am not sure what to think! You're right...the calories alone should be bad enough to stay away...and I think I will. Will just have to find something else to be that "once in a while" treat!

Really I had no idea? I've had 2 or 3 since surgery. I get the smallest size in a sugar free flavor and usually only have about 1/4 of it.
