I had my surgery May 1st. My beginning weight was 193 and I’m down to 150. I get in my protein and water. But, I’m addicted to the sugar free popsicles. I eat around 12 -14 a day. They are like an addiction to me!

Holy moley that's a lot! But I guess it's just liquid so it's no big deal. I was eating two a day after surgery.

Lol. They are 15 calories each. So, I didn’t know if it was ok.

Ask yourself. Does it SOUND ok to you? Does it sound like you need an extra 200 calories when you're trying to maximize your honeymoon period?

Cuz, that would not be my choice for me. But we're all different and it sure seems like you're losing. So dunno.

I like them too. They are pretty yummy!

I would be a little worried about eating that many a day for myself, though.

The ones I have also have 15 cals per serving and 4g of carbs. At 12 a day that means 48g of carbs and 180 extra cals. I would blow past my carb limit pretty quick and I wanna chew (and chew) those extra 180 cals if I can. LOL!

(EDIT: I don't count my own carbs net wise right now, just totals. See below for net carbs. Sorry for any confusion.)

That said, only you know what is good for you and your journey. You are your best gauge, and YOU get to decide.

If you feel like you are doing well, you are on your doctor's plan and feel good then no, it isn't too many.

Congratulations on your weightloss, that is awesome!

Remember of the 4g of carbs 2g are sugar alcohol. So you can deduct that from net carbs but the sugar alcohol can also mess with your gut. I eat about 3-4 as a snack maybe 2-3 times a week, especially since its summer and hot.

When I ate sugar free fudge pop's, I usually had one or two a week. Usually to curb my sweet tooth, I'll have a small bit of yogurt w/ granola and almonds.
