I just got some of these Delmonte sugar free pops.  They have no cal. low carbs.  Are these good while on Optifast? It says we can have sugar free popsicles.

I hope so! I'm on Day 4 of Optifast and those are the only ones I could find.

I'm also going to make some crystal light popsicles myself I think. Also I might try freezing crystal light in ice cube trays and then blending them to make it into something I can eat with a spoon and easier to crunch on.

An idea for popsicles:
 

Ingredients

• Sugar-free Jell-o
• Crystal Light
• Water

Directions

  1. Make the Crystal Light according to the directions on the box
  2. Boil 1 cup of water and completely dissolve your choice of Jell-o in the boiling water
  3. Instead of using cold water for the remaining liquid to add to the Jell-o mix, add 1 cup of cold Crystal light
  4. Stir
  5. Pour mix into Popsicle molds and put it in the refrigerator for several hours until it completely turns to Jell-o
  6. Insert Popsicle sticks in the centre and freeze

Flavour suggestions:

Sugar-free Jell-o          Crystal Light
Lemon                            Lemonade
Raspberry                      Raspberry Ice
Raspberry or Cherry    Cranberry Breeze
Strawberry                     Strawberry-Orange-Banana
Watermelon                  Strawberry-Orange-Banana
Orange                           Strawberry-Orange-Banana

Thank you so much! I'm going to try that for sure!

You should post this as it's own post for other Optifast people to see, I know they'll be thankful too! :-)

That's good to hear.  It was all I could find as well.  It's not really popsicle season.  I know there are sugar free freezies, but you probably won't find them at this time of year.

Yes freezing the crystal light that sounds like a good idea.  Yum

I have sugar free freezies from the low carb store, but i am sticking to crystal light popcyles I made, they are not very flavourful I find, but enough and you get in that extra water and get to crunch.

prior to surgery might not be too bad but after (I don't believe so, not for awhile anyway)

can't recall if I have researched those..because I am not sure how a (real fruit) item could be sugar free...because all fruit has natural sugar...please scrutinize the label carefully...

not sure if theses are the same as you are speaking about

please note the sugar content...for people fresh out of surgery, that 12g of sugar could possibly cause dumping, perhaps making your own unless you know your tolerance of sugar would be the best...I am a year post-op and it would still be a (touch and go) choice for me

Try, if you are near a "Metro", Breyers Popsicles (Popsicle brand)
They are sugar free and great. I'm partial to Chapman's SF popsicles though and they should be reappearing in stores during the month of March, according to the company. 
I live on popsicles, eveb pre-op.
Hope this helps.
