Ice Cream Anyone?



Recommended Posts

Closest I've had was a Skinny Cow No Sugar Added Ice Cream Sandwich. It was under the sugar count and fat count limits that my surgeon/bariatric center recommends so it worked great. At least at Disney they offered this option while my hubby ate a regular Mickey Head icecream sandwich. :)

I don't normally choose the ice cream or sweets because I can survive without them and have really tried to limit those things.

I wouldn't recommend the full fledged sugar/fat type ice creams to anyone. It's not worth the risk of dumping or even worse...worth finding out you don't dump! Knowing you don't dump and not being fully prepared mindwise can lead to using it once again for a comfort food with the risk of over use.

I have to second the Yasso Greek Yogurt Pops. I'm still pre-op, so I don't know if I would dump, but Don didn't, so that says something. Anyway, I could technically eat anything I wanted but I get those instead of ice cream because they're healthier and they, or at least the strawberry ones, taste JUST like strawberry ice cream. Just don't forget to let them sit at room temperature for a couple mins before you eat them. SO GOOD!

I actually got them at Meijer's, which is kind of your standard low/middle income grocery store. It seems like something Whole Foods would have as well. But if they have them at Meijer's, I bet they're pretty available.

Ice cream is the only thing I've tried that makes me dump. Don't do it!! Dont do the Ben and jerry's or yoplait frozen yogurt. Too much sugar. Go for the sugar free skinny cows or the yasso Greek yogurt bars.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
