Day 6 - sugar free popsicles

Aug 03, 2013

I'm feeling so much better today. It still sucks not getting all of my fluids in but I made it up to 35 ounces today and almost 30 grams of protein (2 packets).

I want to eat food so bad thought. Everything looks good except this damn protein powder. I have several different kinds, but I'm just over drinking. I feel doomed. I'd LOVE a yogurt right now. I did end up going to the store and getting sugar free popsicles and it really was an awesome treat. Still just more liquid and I know it doesn't do much for hydration but it was sort of satisfying. My stomach did rumble a lot with each popsicle so I'm wondering if that is normal and why? I never had any issues with ice chips. Is it because of the sugar alcohols? I remember reading posts that said we don't tolerate sugar alcohols very well and I noticed there was a little in the popsicles.

Any suggestions for places to find recipes or ideas for pureed foods for when I get to that stage. I hope the next week goes by fast!

On a positive note even though I don't feel awesome right now, I am one of those people constantly stepping on the scale and I have lost 9 pounds since my surgery on Monday.
