Clear liquids question

[GingerSlim 128]

Did anyone try sugar free Rita's Water ice during Clear Liquids post op?

I love Crystal Lite iced tea, and was thinking that SF Rita's lemonade ice would be great in it (especially since my surgery is 7/22 & will be smoking hot outside!).

BUT...I think I read somewhere that certain temps might not agree with a brand spankin' new sleeve.

Anyone have any advice on flavored ice post op?

My first 10 days post-op, nothing agreed with Frankensleeve. I only drank iced Crystal Light and ate frozen popsicles. I don't think it hurt my sleeve a bit. The cold temps may have even helped bring down some of the swelling. My doc never gave me any restrictions on the temperature of my food.< /p>

I ate sugar free ice pops so I would think Rita's should be ok except one thing....have you eaten thier sf ice before? It sends me running to the bathroom from what I assume is the artificial sweetener they use. The sf ice pops don't affect me that way. I would try it pre op first.

Good luck with your surgery.

I haven't tried it yet...I guess I should try it out first to see how I "react" to the SF version. Thanks for the heads up!

Hey we are having surgery the same week :-)

I am looking forward to having an excuse to eat Popsicles for a few days. Just had the crazy idea to make my own to save money. Then I realized I'm lazy and I would leave it to the last minute and not do it at all. So I will go to SAMs club instead :-)
