No not at but if we can only sip water?? How can I eat a whole Popsicle? Lol

Lol a popsicle turns into liquid. I practically lived on them for the first few weeks after surgery.

Yeah it does lol but it's still more than a sip of Water...I dont get it but thank God cuz I truly believe that's y I am not dehydrated.

When it comes to Water, I think you tend to swallow air as well causing pain due to gas. The popsicles don't have that same effect. I had much better luck with sf popsicles at first.

When you're eating a popsicle though you're only taking in the equivalent of a sip of water really. Sometimes the temperature of the popsicle helps easy your new pouch too.

I read somewhere that a popcicle is about 2 ounces of Fluid if that helps.

Yes that was my best friend since I came out the hospital. Sugar fre popsicle & about 4 a day. I felt happy just having that since taking sips of water wasn't enough.

Yes! But if for some reason you are uncomfortable eating a whole one, don't. The first week I had a hard time if I accidentally bit some of it off.

It was much easier than forcing myself to sip - and I can't stand Jello so ice pops were my favorite! At 13 weeks I still love them.

I too lived on them! My doctor told me that water and fluid will not stretch my pouch bc it runs right through. If you were concerned about that... Im three weeks out and i can almost drink water normally. And i drink a TON of it... Prob a gallon a day lol. I am always so thirsty. But i looove sugar free popcicles and fudge pops! Fudge pops are so close to ice cream consistancy and the sugar free ones are soooo good!
