Italian ice too fast



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery July 24 I am 6 days out and I had a 4 oz cup of sugar free Italian ice last night and I think I ate I it too fast, after I finished I got rumbling in stomach area and then (sorry) got diarrhea. Not nausea or vomiting. This morning still grumbling but other than that nothing else. I am afraid to even take a sip of Water. Any feed back would be helpful.

It could be the artificial sweetener used in it as well. I could see eating pudding too fast but Italian ice seems difficult to eat fast. Unless it was kind of melted? I can't eat sf pudding, goes right through me.

Thanks Joanne I spoke with DR. He said some discomfort in the intestinal area would be normal. I have my follow up tomorrow, was just worried I'm feeling better now. Thanks for the heads up on the sf pudding, I'm not crazy about it to begin with so I'll keep away. :)

You're welcome! Do drink Water though, last thing you want is dehydration! Hope you're feeling better.

I agree that both artificial sweeteners and colors could do it. They are not actual foods. I'm sorry this happened. Definitely don't dehydrate yourself after diarrhea though. Try Water or a Fluid that worked for you before this happened, back to sip by sip.

Powerade Zero makes me so sick. I can't even drink it. I had no problem with artificial sweeteners before surgery but since I just can't stomach them.

Artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols are sometimes an issue for me post-WLS so I just stay away from them. I also abstain because they add no nutritional value and do not aid in weight loss (the opposite in fact) per numerous scientific studies.

I had a sf kona ice early out too and it made me so sick! So do sf slurpees. St popsicles are fine- I think the flavorings must me too concentrated or something like that.
I got some sf butterscotch candies that I am realizing give me the sweats and hot flash- I'm wondering if they are really sf or if maybe they have a high sugar alcohol. This is a trial and error area for sure!
I ate something on Saturday that made me so nauseous and gassy for hours and can't figure it out- I only ate yogurt, yoplait 100. I'm wondering if it uses the same artificial sweetener!

The butterscotch candies have 0 sugar but 15g of sugar alcohol- on my no can do list now.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
