Ok, so my NUT told me I could have all the sugar free popcycles as I wanted. When I looked at the ingredients, it said that each 1/2 popcycles has 4 carbs? This is not making sense to me. There is no sodium, which is good, but the carbs can really add up

Ugg, where's the edit button? I meant frozen popcycles, lol

Pipcycles, popcycles, rainbows and kitten whiskers. What I want is a frozen popsicle, but sometimes we need only to be understood.

4 grams of carb are nothing. Ask your RD for the desired daily maximum so that you'll feel more confident..

Let's put this into perspective. The frozen pops are 15 calories, the sugar free aspect is what we are using. The liquid is counting more towards your 64oz. It's not a food. Two after you've gotten in a meal of Protein will be a nice snack. Living on pops is just silly.

Even if you had 8 of them it takes time and you have other things you need to get down. Just eat them.

I was just sitting here w design if pops were considered liquid or food! Thanks for the comment above

Am I doing my pouch harm if I have one after eating? Since it's sort of a liquid, does it fall into the category of drinking after eating? I am supposed to wait 30 min after food.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
