My 3rd day of liquid diet can I eat jello sugar free pudding

Preop or post?

I'm not sure if jello or pudding is liquid enough?

Ask your Dr.

No pudding 3 days post op or pre op in liquid stage. That can be had in the soft food stage.

Yes, I survived on sugar-free chocolate pudding after sleeve. Good stuff.

Watch the quantity. I went for a 4 oz. little cup of jello with a 2 oz. stomach. One of the only times I barfed. I have a sleeve though.

I wasn't allowed that during my liquid diet. The only thing close to that that I was allowed was sugar free Jello. But ask your bariatric team - maybe your plan is different than mine was. But you can have sugar free pudding during the pureed stage once you're post-op - I ate quite a bit of it then.

Pre-op the chocolate sugar free pudding has been my friend. I don't particularly care for chocolate items, but I enjoy this. The vanilla is gross. I hope my new stomach continues to enjoy sugar free pudding.

No, not on my liquid
Pudding didn’t return until soft meal plan at 4 weeks

Sugar free jello/ jelly is usually considered a liquid and allowed both pre and post op. They even give it to you in hospital

I'm a year out and my new stomach LOVES sugar-free chocolate pudding. It feels like an indulgence!

Agree on asking your Dr. The meal plan I'm on (RNY) allows SF pudding after clear liquids are tolerated. The white chocolate SF pudding is de-lish.

I honestly wouldn’t do just sugar free jello pudding. There’s no protein. You can either buy BariatricPal protein pudding mix which is pretty good or I’ve found when I mix PEScience select protein powder (peanut butter cookie is great, or cookies and cream) with TwoGood yogurt it ends up a nice pudding or even frosting like consistency. You can think it out if you need it more liquid consistency or put it in the fridge a bit for it to be thicker. Of course this is just my personal opinion.

there's a lot of variation between plans. I was on purees ("mushy foods") as soon as I got home from the hospital. Others are on liquids for a week - or two weeks - before they can advance.

Were you able to handle mushy foods? Im having trouble and wondering if i should postpone it another week

I was, yes. But if you're not, it's fine to postpone for a week. You can always DELAY advancing to the next stage, but you shouldn't move ahead of schedule without running it by your surgeon first. But since you want to delay by a week, it's fine to just do it.
