Oz of fluid in outshine popsicles?



Recommended Posts

Well you all know it.. the struggle of getting in enough oz of liquid during the liquid post opp phase.. I've finally made it there and I'm living on tangerine and strawberry flavored Outshine no sugar added popsicles. I LOVE them.. the problem is.. I can't figure out how many ounces of Fluid they are.. i'm eating the ones that are single bars (as opposed to a double bar with two popsicle sticks) can anyone help? What ounces did you count these as... ?

They should have the oz on the label, but if not, let one melt and then pour it into a measuring cup.

My nutritionist told me the single sugar free pops counted as one ounce and a half

Wow, that's not much. You'd need to eat 45 of them / day to meet Fluid goals and that would also be 1125 calories of just carbs, no Protein whatsoever.

I actually made my own popscicles by freezing Protein drinks in silicone molds. Two birds with one stone.....fluids and Protein (and no carbs)

they are not meant to meet all your fluid goals. there are times in the first week or two when a Popsicle is just what is needed. I have one every now and then at this point to scratch my ice cream itch.

people aren't eating them to meet their fluid goals, just as a sweet treat.

@@Beck90 have you tried to infuse Water with things like mint, ginger cucumber or adding crystal light?... I know the struggle is real.

Actually the OP stated she is finally getting enough fluids by "living on strawberry and tangerine outshine no sugar added popscicles". Since 1 1/2 ounces barely makes a dent in the 64oz we should be getting I'm assuming she's eating a LOT of them.

"living on" something is generally an expression. It doesn't necessarily mean she's eating a dozen of them a day. I was "living on" popcicles too and I was eating two a day.

Living on was just the casual expression lol I'm meeting my Fluid goals with Protein shakes, Soups, and other full liquids. I just mean I'm eating a lot more popsicles than I ever have in my life.. just like I'm also eating a lot more Jello etc than I have in my life. I've been using a lot of things to meet my fluid goals (yes flavored Water types as well) not just popsicles! lol I just figured if I was going to eat them and I could count them for anything I might as well XD an ounce and a half isn't much but hey.. it's something I suppose :)

What does the package say? It should give you the serving size in fluid ounces.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
