re: snapple popsicles

[Guest guest]

I tried the snapple popsicles in the variety package, too, Colleen,

and I also thought they tasted a little off. Not really something I

can describe, but just a little off. If I have to have a popsicle,

now I just have a frozen juice bar from Dole ( not sugar free, so I

don't have one of those very often) or more often, I just pop a few

frozen grapes--they are really good! I also like to just crush some

ice in my Magic Bullit and eat it plain! Or, I will add a scoop of

unflavored Unjury, 8 ozs of bottled water and 1 tbls of Smucker's

sugar free hot fudge topping to make a watered-down tasting chocolate-

milk flavored protein shake. I am also having problems with all the

protein shakes! It's not the tastes or the textures that bother me--

it's the fact that I am getting the dumping after I drink them! It's

really hard to force myself to drink my shake when I know I am going

to be extremely ill for an hour afterward! I'm not that strong-

willed!

Oh, and on the watermelon--I can eat seemingly unlimited amounts of

it, but as for cantaloupe--it makes me dump! Go figure, huh!

P. S. For everyone besides Colleen, I am six months post-op and I had

surgery the same day as Colleen! I started out about 20 lbs heavier

than Colleen and I am at 199 right now, down from 268 on the day of

surgery. I have been very dehydrated--had to go to the ER for IV's

twice. Drinking water is painful for me, so it is a constant

struggle.

and it crushes the ice much better! It's about 60 bucks, but I really

like mine a lot. It's also easier to clean! The best feature for me,

though, is the ice crushing ability!--Shonda :-)
