I am currently 6 weeks out and am craving a slurpee. I have 3 little girls and we get slurpee's after their T-Ball games. When did you have a slurpee again?

:) Thanks!

I have tasted one and it was way too sweet. I will have to try the sugar free ones. I think as long as you count your calories, having one here or there won't hurt. I have an occasional Diet Coke with no issues what so ever.

You should take your girls...and then take drinks out of theirs. I think you will find you get your fix pretty quickly. I love tasting my son's foods and drinks! He is 10, but nice enough to share.

The other day I would've maimed someone for an icee. I ended up making my own. It was fairly passable and it did the trick of curbing my craving:

1 packet of SF to go mix in drink powder (I used fruit punch.. didn't realize I had cherry until yesterday)

half a 16.9 bottle of Water

about 3-4 cups of ice

all in the blender.

Like I said, it was barely an icee but it definitely curbed my craving for one which I guess was a craving for "sweet fruity" and the texture of the crushed ice. I drank on it all day and as the ice melted, it didn't taste watered down at all because I only used half the bottle of Water to make up for the ice.

I'd kill to have 7-11 here. In the aftermath of my wife's RnY, the sugar free Slurpees were one thing that kept her going. We moved away from Richmond so I won't have them once I leave my parents' house in the area after my one week checkup give or take.

If you buy into the don't use a straw stuff, Slurpees are easy enough to eat with a spoon. As for me, when I encounter a 7-11 post surgery, I'll be sucking one down with straw (sugar free of course). I buy into carbonation being bad, but I don't buy into the straw thing personally.

I think I looked into that one and the sugar free slurpee actually has a bunch of net carbs. I would not get the huge size but the small size would be ok I am sure.

I drove to 3 different 7-11s a couple of weeks ago looking for a sugar-free Slurpee. The machine was broken at two of the stores, only the sugar-free tap mind you, and not ready to be poured at the 3rd. I took it as a sign that a Slurpee wasn't in the cards for me. I still haven't had one, but I don't want it anymore.

Get a small sugar free one. I don't believe is deprivation!

Here is an alternative I use,, I go to a convience store or gas station that has the small nuggets of ice for fountain drinks, by the largest Styrofoam cup and add SF Tourani Syrup and it last all day and curbs the desire!

According to the nutritional information I found on livestrong.com, a crystal light slurpee has nine grams of carbs. I guess you just have to plan for those carbs in your daily totals.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
