Sugar Free Popsicles etc....

Question

I bought some SF popsicles today and got to thinking..have you been able to have them during the liquid only phase?

Stage 2 & 3 have you had SF Jello, SF pudding, unsweetened applesauce? If so, good experiences? bad experiences?

I am 9 days out from surgery and have all of these thoughts going through my brain before the surgery.

Absolutely yes for sugar free popsicles and sugar free Jello. My nutritionist didn't allow pudding and applesauce until the soft food stage, but I think I've seen others post that they could have it. Your nutritionist will give you a list of what is allowed, if they haven't already. I had my list way ahead of the surgery! Best wishes and prayers!

Totally spaced on all the paper work lol. I'm so flipping excited and anxious that I am forgetting some things.

I did start a bullet journal to keep track of my journey. I have a page for weight loss and for Water intake, exercise and exercise goals. I plan on adding more to it. Been pinning like crazy on Pinterest.

Thank you for replying.

I couldn't handle the sweet stuff after. It didn't settle well at all and kinda burned. I am able to eat pudding and I think it's hilarious that it takes me a whole day to finish. I tried the popsicle at the hospital you just have to remember you can still only have an ounce otherwise if you forget and just start eating it it will kill your stomach.

Since the day after discharge I've had milk, yogurt drinks, unsweetened applesauce, high Protein oatmeal, and cleared on liquid stage for fruit smoothies which I'll have starting tonight and until soft foods stage.

That's amazing!! I'm so happy for you. I am looking forward to a break with food... I'm sure I won't feel that way after a week or so after the surgery but I know in my heart it's just time to make changes.

I loved those popsicles. I had them all the time during liquid diet. Unfortunately I realized now on post op that they have about 4 grams of carbs. lol so I can't have too many of them. I have to stay under 25 carbs a day. It broke my heart cuz I really love them. I guess I'll have to make my own with my zero calories Vitamin Water. Lol

You should also try making your own. I made some the other day with Essentia Water and Crystal Light Mango Passion fruit. So basically you get a high ph count liquid with zero carbs and sugar. It taste great. I do it just to keep the liquid diet interesting. With the popsicle mold you can make multiple flavors that suites you.

No I don't have diabetes it's just what my nutritionist recommends until I reach my goal. Once I do reach it I'll have to keep those carbs limited if I want to keep my weight from coming back. So yeah, ultimately I want to get used to that number. I'm sure there will be days where I go over that but as long as it's not every single day of the week. Lol
Good luck. I'm finally at 190 today. I'm so happy. My husband bought my a Fitbit charge 2 I think that's the one. I'm looking forward to increasing my cardio this week. My brother gets married in June so I have to lose as much as I possibly can.
