I'm 9 days away from my surgery on 11/2 and I can completely wipe out a 12 pack of sf jello from Kroger in 2 days. My nurses said don't worry about calories but I feel like I'm eating a small villages worth of jello. Did anyone else go through this? What did you do to keep the hunger away?

my dr wouldn't allow me to eat jello, only clear broth, protein shakes and water for two weeks. I'm day 1 out of surgery and he told me no jello or juice just keep it on tray (hospital ) and enjoy clear broth, sf popcylcle, and ice water.

I don't think you need to worry about too much sugar-free jello. You'll be transitioning to more interesting foods soon enough.

Best of luck with your surgery,

I could finish off a box of sf popsicles every day. The calories are minimal on sugar free items. I think a box might have been 3-400 calories, not sure. The important thing is that jello is considered a liquid and you need to shrink your liver. I found that chewing sf popsicles was more filling than jello.

My SF jellos are 10 calories each. Even if you are eating 6 a day, that's only 60 calories. Seems reasonable to me if it fits in your plan.
