Is it okay to have? I have been having a little just to have some variety here and there. It tastes so good I feel like I am cheating! I am on the liquids stage, almost 2 weeks out, my nurse told me to just watch the carbs, it has less carbs than my Protein shakes and only 90 calories, and sugar free.

When I read the posts about what to eat during the "liquid phase" everyone talks about pured Soups. So are there other things to have besides pured soups, Jello, pudding, and popsicles? I hope I am doing okay with having it. What do you think?

If you can stick to just a few bites, I don't think it will be a major problem. Personally, I never stuck to just a few bites and always ended up eating more! The sugar free stuff also gave me upset stomach and major gas issues, so I decided to stay completely away from it after surgery.

I haven't had any yet (because I'd end up eating too much of it) but I think frozen yogurt tastes better.

Ben & Jerry's is reeeeeeally good.

It was on my "acceptable" list for the liquid phase.

When they told me I could eat pudding, I found Weight Watchers giant fudge bars. They are about 100 calories, 16 grams of sugar so I would have about 1/2 of one.

It's a better choice than any solid item...even if it's a piece of fruit or protein. Heck, at this stage, Haagen-Dazs would be better for you than a chicken breast. Most important thing in the liquids and mushees stages is healing. So... if you're craving sweets, then yes, go for the sugar-free ice cream.
