The first three days after my surgery, I'm on clear liquids. Jello is an option on my list. Jello isn't a liquid once it's in gel form though. That's how you eat jello. In the gel form. Help. I'm confused.

In the program I am in, Jello was not on my list for phase 1 post op. It was there for 2 weeks after (2nd phase).

I was given jello as part of my initial stage of food in the hospital. I just took very small bits of it and let it melt in my mouth before swallowing it. Doing it this way I have had no issues with it.

It liquifies when it goes ok. It’s ok on my plan as well and I’ve had it without problems.

In was given it in the hospital too, but couldn't even fathom eating it. My 9 year old scored because I never let him have SF jello and rarely the full sugar one.

Jello is a great food to help get over head hunger as well. Make sure you get the sugar free version.

What's head hunger

Head hunger is when you think you are hungry but physically you're not. Head hunger is how a lot of us gained weight by eating when we were not truly hungry.

Thank you for explaining that.

How do you plan to work around that fake hunger?

I never rethought about it, I just occupy myself with things. I'm just starting out, they have put me on something like a keto diet. When I start thinking of food I draw, read, or bug my grand kids. I m sure after I have surgery it may be a bit different
