smg 471 Posted August 9, 2016 Have you tried different flavors? I had the same issues with Jello after surgery, it was just too sweet "all of the sudden". I gravitated toward no-sugar added applesauce instead which worked better for me post-op. Now I make homemade applesauce and I love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djmohr 6,965 Posted August 9, 2016 Have not tolerated sf Jello especially if they are the prepackaged ones you can buy in the grocery store, for some reason those turn out sweeter. It is better if you make it from the box. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramona5555 36 Posted August 10, 2016 Yes these are the packaged ones...I'm on the two week pre diet and having a hard time. She told me I could have up to 4 sf Jello or popsicle but it makes me pucker too lol. Tonight I have headache and feel like crap. I sure hope this passes.

Anabean 21 Posted August 10, 2016 I'm with you Ramona5555! I am actually very sick of Jello! I was never a fan of Jello any how. I've been on the pre op diet for a little over a week and I can't stand the flavors or texture anymore. I threw half a container out today :/. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chycky 671 Posted August 10, 2016 It is the worst I can't believe i bought it and tried to eat. Blech. Never was a Jello fan. I used the sugar free Popsicles instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramona5555 36 Posted August 10, 2016 I get so sick of sweet...I've been drinking flavored Perrier and even though it's slightly bitter, over ice it helps cut all the sweet. I just keep trying to focus on how I'll feel losing some before the BIG day :-) my headache last night turned into another Migraine but took meds and passed out...this morning feel pretty good....I'm like Bob...baby steps to the elevator.....lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beezy8 41 Posted August 10, 2016 Everything seems so much sweeter since my surgery, too. I went to chicken broth, and you can blend in unflavored Protein powder. That was such a big help for me, especially in the liquid and soft stages. All that sweet really can get to yourself. It gets better. You will soon be past this.

beezy8 41 Posted August 10, 2016 Just think, in a few weeks you will be on the other side of your surgery! does first few weeks are hard work just trying to get in your liquids. Resting, healing, drinking your Water and Protein is about enough to do the first weeks. Soon you will be looking back and and thinking, well that wasn't so bad, and it is an important stage in the healing. Give you body time to adjust. Weight loss will take time. Lots of changes going on inside. Give them time. Learn to listen to the new things your body is telling you. I had ţo learn that. Your body will let you know if you are pushing too fast. Best of luck on your journey. Sent from my SPH-L720 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
