Just a quick question, I have to prep on Wednesday for a C-scope and I know you like to have slurpees on prep day to help avoid feeling hungry. I don't think I have ever had a slurpee/icee because when I was a kid they only came in cherry, a flavor I hate. What flavors are good/acceptable for prepping? I know 7Eleven has slurpees, but do other places have other varieties? I really am a novice at this and since I will be watching a 1 and 3 year old while fasting, I really can't spend all day driving around looking for drinks. :-)

Thanks.

Suzanne, Just saw slurpee and made me want to check it out. That sounds good right about now. I know Cumberland Farms and Hess normally have good selections of slurpee/icee type drinks. Not a clue what flavors would be acceptable but saw this and thought i'd share where i have seen them.

I know there is a white cherry flavor and blue raspberry and I think I have seen orange and Mt Dew flavors as well.

Just remember if you drink the blue raspberry and have poo the color of what your babies did, (green) that you drank the doggone thing and that you do NOT have something seriously wrong with you and don't freak out.  I hear rolleyes   that can happen to some people sometimes.

Maverick and most Targets & Walmart (Food courts) have ICEE machines with a variety of flavors. Last time I was at Maverick they had Mt Dew, Dr Pepper, and Fruit Punch. I had the fruit punch and later my D was the same color, freaked me out but then I remembered I had a slushy earlier. Also most gas stations have some type of slushy.

My personal favorite is the Coke slurpee or any of the fanta flavored slurpees. Red Cream soda is amazing but would screw up your bowel prep.

I was told to avoid red and purple drinks and jello before a prep, so I would imagine you could have any other color or flaver that is not those colors. You just need to avoid the red dye that they have in them cause it can make your intestines show up as red.

I always get brain freeze from them so I try to avoid them, although I do like the ice pops!

One other question, do you think I can "hold" them in the freezer for a few hours. That way I could get a couple and put some in the freezer for later. But if it turns into a rock, no point.

Sorry, I think they will finish freezing solid.  That's why the machine keeps the mix turning all the time.

Hi Zanne, I always drink the coke flavored ones. If they have something else that is not red or orange, I will get that one too. And no unfortunately you cant put one in the freezer as it would freeze solid. Hugs!

Yes, you can freeze them... just take them out about 10-20 minutes before you're ready to drink the next one, so it has a chance to thaw a little.. then it'll be the same or near the same consistancy as when you bought it. They also do ok in the fridge for a little while.

My husband and I are like Icee snobs. :)
