Do you have you some sugar free popsicles and/or sugar free fudgesicles? Those really saved me! I was so excited to get to the apple sauce and pudding on day 10, I was counting down the days! LMAO!

I've liked low-sodium V8 (nice change from sweet drinks), Gatorade G2 Natural, skim milk, and Decaf chai tea with a little unsweetened vanilla almond milk and splenda (you can also add 1/2 scoop or so of vanilla Protein to a mug of warm tea to help you towards that protein macro).

well tomorrow morning it will be one week since sleeved. I am doing ok, have gone out seen 2 movies, grocery shopped - don't have a full days energy but its growing. I know i am not at 64 oz of liquid yet, but getting there. I start each day with a 5.5 oz can of V8, then 4-5 oz of HEB Mootopia Milk (lactose free/protein enhanced). then I have some low sugar grape juice - will have some Water - though Water seems harsher. I will have some SF Jello and One SF Popsicle - then for dinner about 5 oz of a cream Soup (last night added 2 partial spoons of KFC gravy). then froze some of the choc. mootopia for a freezer snack - after todays movie I drank some Muscle Milk - banana Cream - it is at least lactose free and tastes ok, tried almond milk as well.

I see many drs' say week 2 is pureed , but my dr still says clear liquid - so i will stick to that for awhile.

So the only things i have to work through are getting more liquids in, and more Proteins - am confident it will happen.

I seem to burp/belch a bit less today, but wish i was not doing that at all

No problems with BM (each day so far suprisingly)

Down 30 lbs since i started and 16 lbs since surgery

Yes I have popsicles..haven't tried the fudge ones will do. I have 21 days of liquids. .cream Soup isn't on my choices but i see a lot of people saying they're allowed

[Corky6984 134]

The fudge ones saved me! I had one a day! Just something different. I started cream Soups on day 10, which I'm not too big of a Soup person, so I had them every once in a while. The same stuff does get old after a while!

What brand of Fudgsicles?

[Corky6984 134]

I don't have the box anymore. I have to make a trip to the store tomorrow and I will let you know then! It has completely slipped my mind. I can see the box, but can't get the name to pop in my head!

My new need: wonton Soup broth! who new? goes down easy & doc says fine.

[Corky6984 134]

Funny you mention that, I have been craving some miso Soup, but just didn't wanna buy it. Looked up how to make it, but I'm not sure if I can find all the ingredients at the store. May try tomorrow when I go for a store run.

Have the no sugar added fudge pops. Delish! Those got me through that phase!

I can't find sugar free pops in my area at all. So I got Powerade Zero, which I normally can't stand cuz of the artificial sweetner, and froze it in little plastic cups and then flipped it over... It turned out to be awesome cuz it paces my swallowing and it's too big for my to accidently bite and swallow a big piece. That happened with an ice chip at the hospital... hurt like a b***h. Also, the taste improved once frozen...

So the original fudgsicles (yellow box) are tje sugar free ones I got and I also saw some Blue Bunny no sugar added and when I checked sugar, they had 5g per pop. As far as sugar free popsicles, I got the twin pops in a bag from Wal-Mart that have a variety of flavors, so luckily they weren't the same flavor and I didn't get burnt out on them!
