I can eat 3 Popsicles (sugar free) in one sitting?



Recommended Posts

I'm 6 days out (may 3 was surgery day). I am able to have one - sometimes one and a half Protein shakes each day. It is still difficult to drink Water with or without Crystal Light .... But Popsicles, I feel like I could eat them all day!

Other than this recent addiction to Popsicles, I am feeling like myself again. I went shopping today, walked, and mowed grass.

Anyone else with a Popsicle addiction? I really can eat three in one sitting!

I've got a Popsicle addiction - probably have three or four every day (when I'm not out of them)

This is a great question! The only one i can find that is sugar free (so far) is the Popsicle brand.

Weight watchers makes one that is high in Protein - 5g I believe, but not sugar free.< /p>

Suggestions?

I am 4days post op and and an only tolerate 1/2 a Popsicle' date=' 1 Protein shake and 1/2 can of Soup a day I'm barely meeting Protein goal which is 40g and barely meeting Fluid intake which is 64oz daily

Any suggestions? Or am I doing ok for just being 4days post op[/quote']

I felt similar to you a few days ago. Are you able to keep any Water down? My Dr. says not to push anything. Just keep sipping, sipping, sipping. My protein goal is 60 - 75g a day, i am nowhere close to this.

How are you feeling otherwise?

You are doing great! All the liquids you are drinking go toward you Fluid intake, even the frozen popsicles. As long as you are not taking in caffenine(sp)

its a month since my surgery...but I definitely had a favorite... cushed ice... ate tons of crushed ice with a spoon... lol :) I like popsicles too :) I found a sugar free one at Walmart( believe it or not) its like the old ones when I was a kid... double sided ones... and they have assorted flavors in the pack... pack of 24 for $1.98... sugar free... no Protein in them tho... but the flavors are awesome. grape ,banana... coconut, blueberry, orange, cherry..... love them all... :)

Your only 4 days out and your stomach is still heaIinng. Your doing good! I can relate to your problem, Try sucking on ice chips…that is what saved me (and popsicles). Plain Water, flavored water, warm Water or cold water, just did not agree with my stomach. Protein shakes I loved prior to surgery I could not tolerate. Good luck, everyday gets better! :)

I now drink ice cold water with no problem!

I am almost five months out and still eat them. I don't eat them as much as I did at first (maybe I wasn't getting in as much liquid at that point) but still love them.

I buy the Popsicle brand (they're 15 calories each and taste fine) and the Dreyer's/Edy's brand. The Dreyer's/Edy brand are 25 calories each and a bit more expensive -- but they're SO good. They're not as easy for me to come by, but when I find them I almost have to buy them.

OMG... I don't know if it is the warmer weather or what but I am like a popsicle fiend! I seriously eat 2 or 3 a day!! I used to love fudgcicles but not so much now... I love those Edy's ones too but our local ShopRite has had the popsicle brand ones on sale for $2.27 a box so I stocked up on the sugar free ones!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
