lahhleslie 30 Posted December 7, 2015 I felt like I needed something really cold. 20 cals 0 sugar 0 fat 7 carbs for 8 oz. Is this starting down a bad path? I want opinions. To much carbs? I'm going on 3 weeks post and on pureed. I'm not talking about an everyday thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted December 7, 2015 personally I don't think it's a problem. I go to starbucks at least once a week for a large refresher and Im steadily loosing weight Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted December 7, 2015 Sounds similar to a sugar free Popsicle which we are encouraged to eat post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauriev 71 Posted December 7, 2015 good to know - I don't care for popsicles, so I would be into this....I also thought about taking the shaved ice out of my fridge and using some sugar free snow cone flavors or even some mio. I figure if I am getting a popsicle I will have to put it in a cup and let it melt before I try to do anything with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Protege01 16 Posted December 7, 2015 I thought slurpees were a no-no? They're carbonated which is hard on the tummy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TxStella 17 Posted December 7, 2015 Not all slurries are carbonated. They can be made with sugar free Syrup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted December 7, 2015 I thought slurpees were a no-no? They're carbonated which is hard on the tummy. I've never had a carbonated slurpee! Interesting! Course I've never had one of the soda flavored ones maybe those are the carbonated ones? Our 711 has crystal light ones. Don't know how that could be bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Proud2BMe 1,016 Posted December 7, 2015 I know it's winter but most snow cone places also offer sugar free varieties. I like the sugar free wedding cake one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going on 3 weeks post and on pureed. I'm not talking about an everyday thing. I don't see how that could be an issue at all. 7 grams of carbs is not a lot actually.

Even the one's at sonic don't have carbonation. I wonder what you're drinking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4MRB4PHOTO 3,900 Posted December 7, 2015 Enjoy the SF Slurpees. The worst thing that will happen is you can get "brain-freeze" if you drink it too fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scottyd1264 73 Posted December 7, 2015 I was told not to use a straw... Anyone else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted December 7, 2015 I Was told not to use a straw the first couple of weeks because it might make you take bigger sips, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lahhleslie 30 Posted December 7, 2015 I didn't use a straw I used a spoon lol, I let a lot of it melt and then just sipped the liquid Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bacon-n-Limes 64 Posted December 8, 2015 For the record, some slushy drinks are carbonated (the Coke Icee, or Circle K's Cherry Froster, for example). Others, like the Crystal Lite flavored should be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
