Sugar Free Pudding

[ginger 0]

Ever since I've been able to eat mushies (about a week now) I've been addicted to sugar free pudding. I buy the Jello pre-made, which appear to be about 1/2 cup each. I usually have 2-3 of these per day. Am I being bad?

If you're still healing my advice is don't worry about it, but once you're out of healing mode and into weightloss mode, you will need to be a little careful of the pudding, it can be VERY high in carbohydrates (which may not matter to you... I don't know what your post-op diet is, but most doctors advise low carb diets).

I don't think you're been bad per se, but you do need to make sure you're getting in nutritious food first. You can't replace 1000 calories per day of various healthy Protein, carbohydrates, and (yes) fats, with 1000 calories of sf pudding! LOL OK, that's a bit extreme, but you get the idea. After you've moved on to solid food, you should plan and track your food carefully, and use the pudding to curb a sweet tooth or as a reward when your daily diet permits, rather than as a daily staple.

I get the instant chocolate flavored kind and when I was on liquids and mushies I added a scoop of chocolate Protein Powder when I mixed it up and it was delicious the next day. When I can't eat much or when I need extra Protein I still resort to this food.< /p>
