I feel your pain. When I was first banded I at a Protein Shake that I blended with ice and sometime later I drank a slushy drink from Sonic. I was in so much pain both times. I don't know why the icy drinks have that effect but I have avoided them ever since those experiences. Try drinking some hot tea very slowly and keep walking. I hope you feel better soon.

Icee's have some carbonation in them so you are experiencing the extra gas from that. Keep pushing the gas ex and you should get some relief, Slurpies from 7-11 (they have the crystal light one) also have some carbonation. Slush puppies and the slushies from DQ don't, but they are loaded with sugar and I have not found a sugar free one.

did you drink it with a straw? i had some icee but i ate it with a spoon. i also only had fruit flavors and not any of the carbonated drink flavors. it didn't cause me any issues though.

I am continually amazed at the eating decisions people make after getting the Lap Band.

So, you go through a significant surgery, you pay (or your insurance company pays) anywhere from 5 to 20 thousand dollars, and you think it’s a good idea to consume what amounts to PURE SUGAR?

Honestly. You can do better than that. Icees/Slurpees have NO nutritional value at all. Not a bit. If you feel like you needed a “treat” or something like that, you would have been much better off throwing some fruit in the blender with some ice.

As I have said many times before, it is the accumulation of these small missteps that could likely keep you from reaching your goal. And sugar-concentrated garbage like that is not at ALL good for your overall health.

You really need to rethink what you are consuming.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
