Ice Cream Is The Devil--Whats Your Kryptonite?



Recommended Posts

I can polish off a pint of Ice cream since I have no restriction and Ive done it twice so far about 2 weeks ago. And I honestly dont ever want to have it again. for me it truly is about being out of sight' date=' out of mind.[/quote'] Doesn't matter what your restriction level is... ice cream melts and is essentially a liquid.

Was just thinking why doesn't anyone like SALT and then some said chips. Mine is chips and salsa... I'm hoping I can't ever eat them again because I don't know how not to eat them all. I'll be staying far, far away.

Biscuits, puddings, cakes, muffins - but i hate bread, weird huh?

Its that cakey combo of sugar and fat mmmmmmm.

I obce had a 4 litre tub of ic cream in the freezer for three whole years until we moved - obviously Im not an ice cream fiend.

Nuts though, salty or sweet (omg honey roasted cashews). I keep u salted nuts around, i can eat those in moderation.

I love some ice cream as well. I buy the no sugar added and its not as bad for me. I have been better by Portion Control because for me ice cream is so easy to put away. I have tried looking for some Greek frozen yogurt but the ones Walmart carries here are way too high in carbs and caleries! My other weakness is popcorn which I can also Polish off some. I was banded Dec 19 2011 and I am to the point that I miss eating sometimes. I am at very good restriction and can only eat a little but it us amazing how we can search out those slider foods. I gotta get back on track and stay away from them.

ice cream is my kryptonite too. i could care less about soda pop, alcohol or fried foods, but i love anything crunchy or sweet. For ice cream i try to look for a healthier substitute. Weight watchers ice cream, TCBY frozen yogurt bars, or a frozen sf Jello pudding cup are all really good. ( maybe once a month i get a DQ mini blizzard, sigh........................) I rarely like salty stuff , but yesterday..............?well, i found a good chip sustitute, Simply7 lentil chips. ( www. simply7snacks), they have 130 cals for 31 chips. Not greasy but crunchy and salty enough to satisfy me. I found them in the snack section at T.J. Maxx ! I know,strange.....................

I'm not real big on the ice cream thing, I do love it, but it's just not on my mind much. What IS is Decaf iced coffee with some sort of flavoring. It's my reward thing. Also, going to Double D's for the IC is somehow fulfilling and addicting for me. I think my therapist called it a control issue. I just love iced coffee!

I only eat 2 grams of sugar per entree, which I was instructed to do by my nutritionalist. Everything I eat is sugar free. They make great sf candies, Cookies, and ice cream. You still must eat these in moderation, but they are my lifesavers. I found out through this lapband that sugar was my culprit. I don't even miss it anymore. Many sugar free items out there and online, so if you are a chocoholic like I am, you can still be satisfied!!!!! Good luck :)

My downfall is chips and dips. It goes down so easy. Slider food!

I love ice cream too but I can do without.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
