Can I count SF Popsicles as fluid?



Recommended Posts

So I was sleeved on last friday this is my first full day home. I've been awake for about 6ish hours and have gotten in almost 32oz of Water (go me!biggrin.gif) Plus an 8oz Protein Drink, my lunch is warming up now (potato Soup w/ Protein powder) I just ate a popscilcel and it occured to me. Do I count that as food or fluids? And how much fluids?

Thanks.

I thought I would feel incredibly different like something was missing after surgery but I feel pretty normal other than the occasional painful air bubble from not waiting for a sip of water to settle before taking another sip. And the surgical pains...

welcome home!! Glad to hear you are doing well!! I never really count the popcicles as Fluid, but I suppose if they melt they would turn to liguid and I was told that anything left sitting out that turns to liquid counts as liquid.

Anything that passes through a seive is considered a full liquid...so yeah it passed through the sieve it's allowed.

hmmm....I was told no potato Soup. Did your doctor give you clearance for that?

Yeah, I'm 8 days out and just started full liquids today. I was given specific things to avoid on the full liquid phase and potato Soup was one of them..even strained. Gotta love how the diets are so different!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
