Question:
do I have to eat sugar free Jello

I have been doing good and then all of a sudden I cant get my jello down. Do I have to eat the jello? I cant stand the texture of it any longer.    — teejaysanders (posted on September 4, 2007)

No you dont have to eat it. Try some sugar free applesauce instead. OR sugar free fruit cocktail. Wishing you the best, Mickey........

No you don't. Try sugar free puddings, applesauce, pureed fruit. There is only sooooooo much jello that anyone can eat!! Take care, Gale.

If you can not tolerate sugar free jello don't eat it some day later you may crave it who knows. Go on the internet and you can get some awesome recipies for gastic bypass pts.

HAHAHA you can't survive on jello alone...hahaha don't be afraid to try other things like sf popsicles, fudgesicles (they are great!) applesauce, etc. Experiment and switch around so you don't gag or get so bored! Good wishes for being a great loser!

NOPE...stop if you don't like it!! Truly! I HATE JELLO both before and after surgery. Try SF pudding.....that's my preference. You don't have to eat anything you don't like. Just keep trying diffrent things and find something you like. NOTE...don't buy a case - as your tastebuds can change. :) Good luck.

yOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT IT! TO ME, EVEN THAT IS TOOOOO SWEET TASTING. ASK YOUR DOCTOR OR OFFICE STAFF ABOUT OTHER IDEAS. I SEE SOME ARE ALREADY POSTED BY OTHERS. GOOD LUCK!

The advantage of Jello-brand gelatin is that it is low calorie, low-carbohydrate and has some hydrating effect. Sugarfree pudding and sugar free applesauce, although choices that a longer term patient might make, could (because they can be high in carbs) undermine your weight loss. For me early on, I went with the low-carb yogurt. Yeah-- and oh so exciting. Also, I dabbled with all the different brands of clear protein drinks before moving onto the thicker shakes. Finally, I consumed lots of eggs while looking for soft foods to maximize protein intake while minimizing carbohydrates. Good luck in making the best choices that maximize your weight loss.

Jello is not a requirement for WLS. You don't have to eat it at all if you don't want or like it. I hate the texture of sugar free jello. It's too liquidy. I usually make a box of jello using half the required liquid... sort of like jigglers but goes down easier than the regular sugarfree jello. Best wishes
