On my pre-op diet, I survived on sugar-free popscicles. (I've always loved popscicles). For post-op, I bought a snow cone maker. I figured it would be much cheaper than buying so many popscicles regularly--with it, all I need is ice. I ordered sugar free syrup with it, but I won't do that anymore (it's too expensive); after that is gone I will use the bottles with a mix of Crystal Light.

I'm 10-days post-sleeve, and the snow cone machine has been a great investment. It makes me feel like I'm eating solid food, but what it really does is hydrate me. I eat a lot of my Water in the form of snow cones. I even like them flavorless. I'm a texture-eater, so a liquid diet sucks. it's not fulfilling to me.

Anyone else post-op but need to sink their teeth into something?

Great idea @@crystalloveball

I chewed ice when I was at that stage...

I found it was a GREAT help with the head hunger and tricking the body into thinking it had eaten...

I hope others find this and do the same...

I'm on day 7 and yes I'm a popci

Oops I'm a popsicle eater I'm careful to let it soften to make it easier on my teeth.
