Ice Cream

[kcrenshaw1 0]

This is my first time on here. I was banded back in November 2011. I have lost about 60 pounds. For the past two months I have stayed exactly the same. My biggest problem is ice cream. It goes down with no problem and of course is good! Any suggestions on stopping this habit?!?

Maybe you could ween off it by eating frozen yogurt (non fat, no sugar).... Yogurt is better for you and has kinda the same consistency.

I have not bought "ice cream" (in like a gallon container) since my surgery. I have had a dairy queen (or two) over that time. But I LOVE icecream so to have it readily available at my house... I can't do it. I do buy weight watchers or skinny cow ice cream treats. they are pre-measured and low cal and super yummy. If you can eat just one, i'd go that route. There is nothing wrong with a treat as long as it fits into you "calories". If you are not losing you might want to track your calories and see exactly what your taking in in a day.

I had a long period of time I didn't lose weight... and I was eating right and exercising. Sometimes your body just says enough for a while.

If you can't leave the ice cream alone really the only solution is to not buy it. I can't have those trigger foods in the house or I won't leave them alone till they are gone.

Buy some FroYo, its just as good. My biggest problem is ice cream too!

We all eat something we should not eat. I eat a lot of Ice Pops, Icees sometimes they are fat free and sometimes not.

Put a bag of chips in front of me it is gone. Just remember not to do it everyday. Every once and while won't hurt. Good luck to you.

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one with sweet tooth for ice cream. But the pre bought weight watchers and skinny cal things are great ideas. Think I will get rid of all the schwans ice cream cones and replace it with those, every once in awhile treat! . Thanks everyone!!

Try Breyer's Carb Smart. I can only find vanilla, but it is good and real creamy. Add chopped nuts and sugar free caramel sauce, Yummy!!! Don't over eat on it though it is kinda rich in flavor and might upset your stomach if you eat to much. My doctor has me watch carbs.
