LyricSoul 15 Posted March 25, 2018 If I just ate right now and wanted to eat crush ice would that be okay or would I have to wait 45 minutes afterwards? I also made Protein popsicles and Crystal light popsicles. Do I have to wait to have those too because it's liquids?

XYZXYZXYZ1955 675 Posted March 25, 2018 It's hard to know how to answer because I don't know if you are pre-op or post-op, and, if post-op, how long ago was your surgery? If you are post-op and still on liquids, it doesn't make a lot of difference. The big issue with drinking versus eating is that with the small stomach, you need to have it empty for food--which will fill you up when it's solid food versus liquid or mushy food--and you also don't want to wash it through your system without having time to digest it. But if in the first one to three weeks post-surgery, go ahead and have the ice or popsicle. 1 LyricSoul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sillykitty 10,776 Posted March 25, 2018 On liquids it won't matter, go for it. Once you start pureed though, start following the no liquids for 30 minutes rule. 1 LyricSoul reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LyricSoul 15 Posted March 25, 2018 Yeah I make sure I drink well sip up until my first bite. Because during the night I'm thirsty but it taste so nasty trying to sip.Sent from my Z982 using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
