Cool Whip?

Ok, I'm actually one of those that LOVES Jello.  Sugar free is a bit over sweet, but it helps with my craving for fruit (not allowed on our diet).  But I am craving something creamy.  And I have not gotten an answer yet.  Are you guys putting a spoonful of cool whip on your jello every now and then?  I just lost 12 pounds, I'd love a treat.  :)

I buy ff cool whip. When I feel like I need it I measure it out and only put a teaspoon or 2 on my jello. I do not do it every time I eat jello. Last night I had a small amount of cool whip, it was my first in 4 months or better. Everyone is different with their choices that they make. Be forewarned though, I did have stomach issues the first time I used cool whip after surgery. Im not sure if it was the lactose, or if it was the sugar (hence I use FF now). 

That is what I am afraid of.  I don't want to get used to it now then want it after surgery and it to cause dumping.  also with an oil based product I don't know if its better to go with fat free or low sugar.  My doc says he'd rather us look at sugar content instead of fat content, but i'd rather look at both.  i guess I should just forget it and move on.  If a food is this much trouble its not worth eating.

I dont know if this will help you at all, but I find that when I want something "creamy" I semi-freeze my smoothies/ shakes and it seems to help me satisfy the craving. You may try "world according to eggface" blog. She has awesome recipes on there! 

Thanks for the freeze tip - I'll try it.

Hi!  I'm far from perfect, but what helps me when I want a treat is I have my favorite flavor of Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt (usually key lime pie) and put the equivalent of a few tablespoons of whipped cream from a can on top.  I've read the labels of every brand, and the calories and sugar are minimal.  I've even taken a juice glass and made a little parfait when everyone else is having something else, and everyone wants to try it!  lol  I haven't tried cool whip, but I will now.  :-)

Good luck!

Had cool whip tonight and it was AMAZING!!!  Just a spoonful on top of my jello cup.  OMG it was some good!  And only 2 carbs!

I like to add a packet of Splenda to some Vanilla Greek yogurt for that sweet creamy craving! Might as well keep up the high protein and avoid oils, if possible...
