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.

      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.
