Breyer's No Sugar, Low Fat Question.



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 days out.

On my list I can have yogurt like lemon light and fit dannon, thinned cream of wheat, in addition to of course, Protein Shakes and other liquids.< /p>

So I took about a half cup of this vanilla ice cream which is totally melty because I'm having it so slowwwwwly. Honestly because of the 10 day pre-liquid diet this is the best thing I've had in 3 weeks.

Question, how fast will I know if it isn't a wise choice? Will I possibly get diarrhea or nausea later.

I seem to be tolerating it so well but of all the horror stories I'm not sure when I'd be out of the woods so to speak. Did anyone have this in the very beginning?

So far I had 2 Protein shakes (totaling 65 grams of protein today), some Water and this.

Thanks!

I'm not judging you here.....but.........i'd TOTALLY stay away from the ice cream. It's a very bad habbit to start, and hard to stay away from once you start eating crap foods like that. my advisce is, if you start treating yourself this early on, you might be one of those posts down the road like: why am I not losing?.......

Stick to the foods the DR has directed you to, and you will be much better off. :)

Good luck, I know it's tough.....but hang in there!

I would imagine that if you are lactose intolerant you should know by now. I tried some ice cream and it was not a good choice. For many reasons.

You should know right away!

When I eat sugar I kind of "dump" I have a hot flash and have to use the restroom within 10 minutes.

That being said, I second the stay away from ice cream! Even if it is sugar free, sugar subs can make you crave it even more. I super regret eating sugar a month or two out because now I find it super hard to stay away from it. As others on here waited four or five months to try it and now find it too sweet. I wish that is how it was for me.

It's been 4 hours and I'm fine.

I appreciate your words of wisdom and will not make it a habit.

It's done, I enjoyed it but I definitely understand the concept of it as a sort of gateway drug...even with the no sugar, low fat.

It's a learning experience...thank you for your honesty. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
