too much ice?



Recommended Posts

Can it do the stomach and harm by eating a lot of sugarfree popsicles ?

I had loads of those PO and they never caused me any problems

The main thing that might cause a problem is overdoing the artificial sweeteners - some will experience different forms of GI distress from certain ones (which can differ between individuals.)

Thank you Rick. Didn’t think of that . Would you have to have an excessive amount ?

I know this wasn't directed at me, but some people can't even tolerate a small amount of artificial sweeteners. And others can tolerate a little but not a lot.

I didn't think of this, either, because artificial sweeteners don't bother me at all. But they do give some people GI distress - especially sweeteners whose names end it -itol (like xylitol)

Thank you so much Catwoman .Artificial sweeteners have never affected me before - At least I don’t remember them having done , but I have to say , Im not a fan of them , and try to look for ‘safe’ ones , but are any. of them? Im almost afraid to put anything in my mouth after being so ill before and over Christmas, and have no appetite whatsoever, but I know I need to eat somehow . I’m trying find things that will tempt me and have a bit of nutritional value. Not easy !

Sorbital is found in a lot of sugar free stuff can cause diarrhea. This is not good when your working so hard to get the fluids in. Make your own with Protein Water and theres lots of ice cream recipes with Protein premier drinks to make.

Didn’t know about Sorbital always , thank you 🙂 so we can make ice cream that we can have ?? !! 😀

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
