Italian ice

[jaterika 38]

Why has no one said anything about Italian ice???? This is the best stuff for my liquid. Its fat free only 9g of sugar and dairy free etc. I longed for something tasty since my pre liquid diet and this has truly given me hope. I know it sounds fat but I'm tired of Protein Shakes n the other non tasty products I've been on since my journey. Since my surgery 5/29 I can not get a lot of Fluid in and that 1 small ice filled me up but I'm happy the weight is still dropping I'm 25lbs down over all and happy.

I'm still on my pre-op liquid diet, but I've been having Luigi's sugar-free Italian ice. I just wish it came in more flavors than just cherry and lemon.

9 grams of sugar is too much for me but I am glad you found something you can get down. Maybe a sf version?

I bought sf Popsicles I can only eat half of it and I melt it in the sink their so nasty but sf cherry Jello I can't get enough of it I already loved jello but sf wasn't bad at all

Good luck how long is your pre op diet?

Oh, maybe the Luigi's are strawberry, not cherry. I dunno, they're red.

My problem is that I can't handle aspartame (it's a Migraine trigger for me), so I have to hunt out the sugar-free stuff that is made with Splenda or stevia or something. Jello brand Gelatin is out, but Hunt's snack Packs are OK. And most of the sugar-free popsicles have aspartame. I just bought a popsicle mold and tried making some of my own with Mio flavoring in Water. Unfortunately, all the flavoring must have sunk to the bottom, because only the outside of the popsicles have any flavor! I'm going to try making popsicles with some of my fruity-flavored Protein powder samples.< /p>

My pre-op is two weeks. I'm on day 10 now, surgery is on Monday.

My Dr. Said to stay away from anything with more than 5g sugar per serving

I made my own version of Italian ice. Just added lemon juice ( the one already pre squeezed)water and ice cubes 3 packs of equal and put in my handy brand new SEXY blender...and VIOLA! fat free...only what ever calories are in three packets of equal. Has no pulp and taste more natural.
