sugar free fudge-sicles.....what diet stage are they? I WANT to say liquid because it melts before it get's to your tummy. What do you all think?

Aslo during mushie/pureed stage can you eat fat free cheese cake?

TIA

Popsicles are liquid. You could probably eat fat-free cheese cake during the mushy phase but I wouldn't if it has a lot of carbs (sugars). Fat-free normally means a lot of sugar to make up for the lack of fat.

I got a binder of information from my Bariatric Center and followed everything to their letter.

The S/F fudgsicles were allowed on my pre-op diet--but no mention of them after that!

Does fat free cheesecake have carbs???? I'm going to bet it's a "no" to that--it wasn't on my list for sure!:thumbup:

no,no,no...just because it is fat free doesn't mean it isn't laden with empty calories..defeats the purpose of the valuable tool we were blessed with..Carol WA

Hi:

You might be better off with SF popsicles than fudgsicles because they have alot less calories. If I recall correctly, a SF fudgsicle 40 to 50 calories, a sf popsicle 10 to 15 calories.

Don't know on the cheesecake side.

I found a great cold treat for the summer. I have an electric ice crushing machine. I crush ice, add crystal light iced tea, or crystal light lemonade, squeeze fresh lemons, and eat it with a spoon. Next to no calories and feels like a treat if you eat it with a spoon.

Thanks guys. The fudge-sicles I have are 70 calories and the popsicles have 30. All I eat is popsicles and 1 Jello cup a day so my calorie intake is very low.

Carol and Bunny~ I understand now about fat-free vs. sugar free, thanks:smile2:

ronwifey, are you drinking your protein shakes? Your already a few days out and you need to get in your protein. Very important! The protein will help you heal as well as nutrition and keep your satisfied. You may not be hungry today because you're so swollen from surgery, but trust me you will be. Get started on those shakes. Very important. Good luck.

HI, I started protein shakes and vitamins on Wensday. They do make me feel very full.
