Ice cubes...

[LyricSoul 15]

If I just ate right now and wanted to eat crush ice would that be okay or would I have to wait 45 minutes afterwards? I also made Protein popsicles and Crystal light popsicles. Do I have to wait to have those too because it's liquids?

It's hard to know how to answer because I don't know if you are pre-op or post-op, and, if post-op, how long ago was your surgery? If you are post-op and still on liquids, it doesn't make a lot of difference. The big issue with drinking versus eating is that with the small stomach, you need to have it empty for food--which will fill you up when it's solid food versus liquid or mushy food--and you also don't want to wash it through your system without having time to digest it. But if in the first one to three weeks post-surgery, go ahead and have the ice or popsicle.

Post op my surgery was March 1st. I'm on the pureed stages as of the 15th of March.

On liquids it won't matter, go for it. Once you start pureed though, start following the no liquids for 30 minutes rule.

Yeah I make sure I drink well sip up until my first bite. Because during the night I'm thirsty but it taste so nasty trying to sip.
