Has anyone tried Sparkling Ice?
I really liked the black raspberry, but the carbonation bothered me more than it bothers me with diet soda. I did buy a lemon lime (or something light green, LOL) a couple of days ago just to have some variety (especially since I am trying to get in more fluids consistently because of the kidney stones).

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
Lapband surgery in 2009 - Revision to RNY August 13, 2013 with gallbladder removal.
HW - (260) SW - (197) GW - (135), updated on 1-2-14 to 125lbs HT 5'5" Goal reached 3/2/14-revised goal to 120 on 3/9/14 reached 4/6/14 
Some surgeons discourage it and some allow it after a certain number of months. It makes some people burp or have flatulence, and some people find that the carbonation makes their pouch hurt. Many people have no trouble with it, however (especially if they pour whatever it is over ice or otherwise let just a bit of the carbonation subside).
i find it amusing that one surgeon here in town told his patients that it wasnt the carbonation he objected to (in the case of diet soda/pop), but the caffeine, artificial sweetener, and number of chemicals in it.... yet he had NO objections to his patients drinking regular coffee or tea, or drinking the artificially sweetened and chemical laden things like Crystal Light! What kind of sense does THAT make?!?
BTW, it is NOT true that carbonation can stretch your pouch. That would require a small amount of liquid defying the Laws of Physics.

I love sparkling ICE. I am aware it is highly recommended that we consume no carbonated beverages, but the carbonation in this drink is nearly minimal. I give it a few shakes, let out what gas there is, then sip away. Love the black raspberry but like them all. Buy them in an 18 bottle variety pack at Sam's club.
