ice-cream question??

hey everyone, what about fat free sugur free ICE-CREAM at 10 days out? can't get enough fluid. thanks y'all ,,,,huggs teresa

The better choice would be sugar free popsicles. They contain more water than ice cream. If you are wanting the calcium, and milk doesn't bother you, have a glass of skim milk. FF SF ice cream is still pretty high in empty calories. I know that I have no control around ice cream of any kind so my choice is to not even have it around me. Susan

Hi Susan, yes i know your right and i would over do it and end up sick, thanks even though that wasn't the answer i wanted it the one i needed. teresa

You are welcome. We are always here to hug, encourage & give a reality check when needed. I promise things will get easier. Just give yourself time to heal and take the rest one day at a time. You have just begun an amazing journey and we are all here to help you along your way just as others have helped us through the rocky spots. Love, Susan

Yes, do sugar free popscicles. They count as part of your liquids. There also are the cream centered sugar free popscicles if you're wanting that creamy texture. It would be a lot better for you than full fled ice cream. Plus you might want to watch for sugar alcohols. They can cause you gas distress, especially so early out. April

Hi Teresa, I will be 8 months out tomorrow, and I can only handle sf ice cream and only 2-3 small spoons. Any more then that and plan on sitting on the toilet. Stick to the popsickels for now. Talk to your nutrionist. They can help you out regarding ice cream, but since you are still just healing, I wouldn't try ice cream for a while. Best of luck, Kathy
