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!

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.

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.

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 :/.

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.

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

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.

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.

I agree here the best one is the one you can make yourself. Less sugar and taste better.

      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.
