Sugar Free Chocolate Jello

[Jelly Belly 10]

Is sugar free Jell-o pudding (not Jello jello) Permitted during the pre op liquid diet? It does have 60 calories.

It depends on your surgeon and your plan, Peaches. Read the instructions you were given or give the office a call.

With my plan, I drank 5 Premier Protein shakes a day, and was allowed to have one serving of an item on a short list of things. sugar free pudding was one of them.

But that was it for the day. Shakes and one pudding.

Some people get shakes for two meals and a meal of veggies and Protein.

Some people just get shakes.

Depends on your program and your doctor.

I agree with Creekimp13

My pre-op was 3-4 Protein Shakes, one serving of lean Protein and two servings of veggies a day. No pudding allowed. I was allowed SF pudding after 4 days post-op, but honestly didn't want any until a few days after that. Long story short- it's different for everyone, and I think your doctor may even tweak things depending on how much you have to lose, the size of your liver before surgery, etc.

If you had it once during pre-op, it won't kill you... but try not to stray from the pre-op diet, whatever it may be. The easier it is for your surgeon to do what he has to do, the safer and better results you'll have. I'm so glad I didn't cheat!!! The peace of mind is way more worth it than any cheat day I would have had.

It’s allowed for me. pudding, Jello, cottage cheese, Tomato Soup or cream Soup, and broth are the “foods” I can eat on the liquid diet. No sugar beverages, no carbonation, no caffeine.
