I'm on day 2 of my post op liquid diet and just realized I could eat the popsicles I bought. Well let me tell you when you can't eat at all - sugarfree popsicles rock! :biggrin:

I've done what I consider well - the first 7 days of my diet I can have one Lien Cuisine meal as long as it has no more than 15 grams of carbs. Hard to find one like that I like. I like the pasta's and rice. Can't have that now!

I know I need to get used to no Pasta and rice - and I believe I can - that is not the issue.

Instead of having my Lien cuisine - I had a salad w/ vinigarette dressing. It was yummy.

How bad have I messed up????:wub:

Actually the salad is probably better for you then the Lean Cuisine. The frozen dinner like that tend to have alot of added salt to them. You might want to add a little Protein to your salad though. Greens don't keep you full. Becareful with the lettuce. I tend to do better with baby spinach instead of lettuce.

As for the sugar free ice pops. I live on them. They are my lifesaver. I shop at BJ's warehouse and get the boxes of 48. They help you to get your fluids in also.

But if you are still supposed to be on your liquid diet then I wouldn't go eating solid foods yet. The reason that you are supposed to be on liquids is because you need to give your body a chance to heal. You run the risk of getting stuck or stretching your pouch.

Congratulations to you.
