240 calories of "empty" calories (320 minus the 80 from protein) is still pretty bad when you're getting around 1200 calories a day.

Never said it was good... simply that it was not a total "lose / lose" situation. Compared to every other pint of ice cream... it's a much better choice.

Thanks for mansplaining without providing any actual evidence. You were making a point about frozen foods losing Fiber benefits in the post I responded to -- not juicing, which can remove Fiber.

I actually made three separate posts and you've chosen to be aggrieved by one.

Is that what your plan recommends? It sounds soon to me for any solid food at all, never mind rice. At two weeks out, I was on liquids--didn't eat solid food until a month had passed. I know all plans are different . . .

I also wanted to disagree, politely, with the poster who said food should not be enjoyed, just seen as necessary fuel. It is fuel, certainly, but I don't see why enjoyment of the food I'm supposed to be eating is wrong. I like Cookies and know I shouldn't be eating them, but I also like cottage cheese! I enjoy eggs. As long as I'm having one or two, without the side of fried potatoes, for example, what's wrong with enjoying that? After months of not caring if I ate or not, other than the need to get Protein, I'm kind of happy to be enjoying my small, appropriately chosen meals.

Other than some sugar-free fudgesicles after surgery, I haven't had ice cream--but then, it's a big 33 degrees F here today, about as toasty as it's been for many months, and for me ice cream is definitely a warm weather treat. Fortunately, I like those fudgesicles, too.

Hey.

In Sweden one of the 21 countys pay for the surgery. My county says it is okey to start with soft food day 2 after surgery.
