soda fix



Recommended Posts

I tried searching this but did not find anything.

Has anyone tried to make popsicles out of their favorite soda to get their soda fix?

I have read that the carbonation escapes during the freezing process.

I'm only 5 days out and the only thing I have been craving is a big ole glass of ice cold soda. (Diet soda of course)

I don't plan on doing this right now, but if I can at least know that it is something I can do, the craving might lessen.

Any thoughts??

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I'm not asking anyone to decide for me, just wondering if it even works or if anyone knows about the carbonation.

Wish I could help, but I gave up soda. Just didn't seem worth all the trouble. If you find out, or try it, post here. There's a lot people that would love to know the answer.

Hey if the carbonation a gone go for it. It's all about moderation though. So don't become a soda Popsicle mega eater!

I gave it up too, awhile ago, but for some reason I just keep thinking about it. Believe me I'm not doing anything against the rules, but some one suggested it to me today so I just thought I'd ask. I will ask at my one week Dr visit and let you know what the doc says about it. Even if it's something that I can't do for months that's fine at least I'll know, right.

I haven't had an actual soda since my band has been put in the whole carbonation part scares me but I know what I mean about the craving part sometimes when I absolutely crave it I I go get a small slurpee the coke flavored but that is when I am reaching my breaking point I dunno how it would effect the sleeve getting sleeved tomorrow

The main reason I drank diet soda was for the carbonation. Soda has absolutely no appeal to me minus the carbonation, but I am interested to hear how the Popsicle taste. :)

You might leave the pop out in a glass over night, then freeze it, idk if freezing does get out the carbonation but i know that leaving it out will. I misunderstood, i thought you were asking if it was ok to do, not if it worked :-)

Ok,

Made and they are not good. I put to my lips and I feel a little zing, so I think it has something to do with carbonation. Also it's like most of the flavour is gone too and it virtually tastes just like Water in sections. I'm goin to try again with flat lemonade and see how it goes

If you are not still in the healing stages, you might try one of these.

I love them. It is flavored sparkling Water. The carbonation is very light. They are a bit expensive IMO at $5/six pack or $1 each at Walmart. But a couple a week shouldn't break the bank.

Thanks for trying it Mini, I'm still on stage 2, so I didn't want to try it out yet.

OTR, I have seen these drinks at my grocery store, I will def try them out when I can. Thanks!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
