Jello popsicles

On day 6 of 14 of Optifast...discovered Jello sugar free popsicles...have been unable to find sugar free popsicles anywhere in Thunder Bay and really needing something to change things up so I googled Jello popsicles.  Most recipes ask for sugar but I just followed the instructions on a sugar free Jello box and poured it into the molds...having my first one now and the result is yum!  Trying to keep busy around the house and have water on hand at all times.  Does anyone else have any tips/ tricks??

Awesome idea, Mysha!  Thanks for that -- I'm squirreling away options for the Opti period and this one sounds great!

Can you have jello on the Optifast?

Depends which bariatric centre you're with, you'll have to check with yours.

I'm having my surgery in Toronto at the Finch site. I haven't seen jello on any of the info I was given.

I would guess that sugar free jello is a no for you then, since it isn't listed. You can always call and ask.

Sugar free jello is allowed on our diet in Thunder Bay...the first few bites of these creations can have a gelatin like consistency weird but still good.  I know the diets can range within the province...some even get to have vegetables (which would be delightful right about now)..so yes, please check locally.

I was at the Finch site when I had my bypass. You could have a cup of vegetables (very restricted but I so looked forward to it)

It's so hard because of those inconsistencies in the various programs but really what harm would a cup of veggies do you? Mushrooms, celery, green pepper, spanish onion.I think there may have been another veggie but.......

It was so nice to bite into something solid at the end of the day. I used to saute it in vegetable broth. Just that one cup made it much more tolerable.

I was out of Humber as well. The veggies I was allowed while on opti was green peppers, celery and cucumbers. That was just in January.
