Ice Cream Anyone?

[LosingItForMe2011 320]

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.

I eat the yasso frozen yogurt pops and some artic zero ice cream when i get cravings.

For me article zero tasted absolutely nothing like the flavor on the package or even ice cream in general
