JoanneB Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I was wondering does anyone know if the slurpee drinks you can get on the strip in Las Vegas are carbonated. I remember reading a post at one time saying that slurpees are carbonated, but I can't find it now. I am going on vacation to Vegas at the end of Feb and would like to know if I can indulge in one or two while I am there. I know that I am not suppose to drink alcohol for the empty calories, but I have been very good and not had any drinks since the day I decided to have the surgery back in August. I really don't drink much, but it might be nice to have one while at a club or with a nice supper. I don't drink any carbonated beverages period. So that is okay, just mainly hard liquor and juice (which is what I have always drunk). If anyone knows the answer, I should would appreciate it. Thanks so much, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much, I was told slurpees are a 'no no' drink as they are full of sugar/carbs, it can contain club soda or a carbonated soda pop, and it's blended in a blender, which can cause air bubbles and you may have a gas issue. SO, with these guidelines, I don't have them. As far as 'drinking' at a bar or partying, I have a vodka cranberry juice with a grapefruit juice splash ~ YUMMY! You can sip on wine as well.

JoanneB Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Jude, I kinda figured that...oh well...I will just have to make due with the regular drinks...such a shame I know. I am not a big drinker, so it is really not an issue. Just last year, the drinks where sooo good. Maybe the shopping will help instead of the drinking...yay...new clothes!!

Hi, After six months out, you can drink carbonation--and February will be six months for you, right? Jude is right about sugar/empty calories, but if you're over six months, you could probably have one or two and not do any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoanneB Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Good catch Angela! I meant to post that and just kept on going...so glad you did! Thanks Ladies, But I am thinking I will just stick with the regular drinks, if I drink at all. I don't want to test my band. So far I have been good, I really don't want to test the limits. I would rather stay under. Oh Well, more money to spend on clothes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
