First week out - Popsicle question?

[purplhouse]

When I left the hospital, the nutritionist there told me I could have sugar-free popsicles or frozen fruit juice (no sugar added). Since we're on the road, the opportunity to eat a popsicle is non-existant unless I buy a box and throw most of them out. But today at a travel station, there was a freezer of single-stick type popsicles. I don't remember the name, it was something Spanish, but it claimed to be all natural and 100% fruit. I don't think they were fruit juice, tho...they looked like they were made from pureed fruit, which is different, isn't it? In the end, I didn't want to risk it, but I've been thinking about them all day ( nothing but broth and water will do that to a girl).

Has anyone out there tried a similar product? Should I wait until the pureed foods phase to be safe or did I pass up a perfectly good popsicle?

I have had sf Popsicles. I am only able to eat slightly less then half. My nutritionist says those are fine at this stage. ( i am 6 days out) I can also have sf juices, jello and drinks.

I would try to follow the doc's orders.

i wouldnt eat the popsicle unless it specifically says sugar free. but like richsgirl said, sf jello is fine.

oh and i was told i could have sf crystal light and diet snapple. i dont do the sf crystal light anymore because it gives me too much gas!

If the Popsicle had any type of fruit, pulp, or chunks, it would not be allowed. Definitely follow your doctors orders. I bought a bunch of popsicles and have yet to have any. I am 11 days out.

I have popsicle's on my grocery list to pick up when I go to town tomorrow, hopefully they at least have a few sugar-free ones!
