too much ice?



Recommended Posts

Can it do the stomach and harm by eating a lot of sugarfree popsicles ?

I had loads of those PO and they never caused me any problems

The main thing that might cause a problem is overdoing the artificial sweeteners - some will experience different forms of GI distress from certain ones (which can differ between individuals.)

Thank you Rick. Didn’t think of that . Would you have to have an excessive amount ?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but some people can't even tolerate a small amount of artificial sweeteners. And others can tolerate a little but not a lot.

I didn't think of this, either, because artificial sweeteners don't bother me at all. But they do give some people GI distress - especially sweeteners whose names end it -itol (like xylitol)

Thank you so much Catwoman .Artificial sweeteners have never affected me before - At least I don’t remember them having done , but I have to say , Im not a fan of them , and try to look for ‘safe’ ones , but are any. of them? Im almost afraid to put anything in my mouth after being so ill before and over Christmas, and have no appetite whatsoever, but I know I need to eat somehow . I’m trying find things that will tempt me and have a bit of nutritional value. Not easy !

Sorbital is found in a lot of sugar free stuff can cause diarrhea. This is not good when your working so hard to get the fluids in. Make your own with Protein Water and theres lots of ice cream recipes with Protein premier drinks to make.

Didn’t know about Sorbital always , thank you 🙂 so we can make ice cream that we can have ?? !! 😀

      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.
