Has anyone tried ice cream? I'm on stage 4 and I'm thinking about trying some..

If you enjoy dumping I say do it.

My surgeon's office had several rules i had to promise to follow for the rest of my life...no ice cream was one of them. Sad but it is prolly good, that would be a slippery slope for me personally.

Dumping is a "side effect" of RNY. Since you have a smaller stomach and less intestine for the food to process through, sweets and fats can cause dumping. Dumping is when the food moves to fast in the system causing hot flashes, vomiting and diarrhea . Really horrible! Not all patients have dumping but it is awful when it happens. Some folks are ok with SF FF ice milk or frozen yogurt. There are even Greek high Protein ones now. But the days of the DQ blizzard are gone. Hard for me but it was something I was willing to give up for all the other benefits. They did me no good in the past. Good luck.

Plus those things don't have the same flavor. chocolate tastes nothing like it used to. Dumping sucks. I get a hot flashy nausea with a fainting feeling. I can't puke or poo during thus but immediate rest helps. I usually nap for awile after

So true Worm, our old comforting habits helped get us here.

I am nervous to see how much i can have without dumping. What if i am someone who doesn't experience it at all?! I need that extra fear to avoid stuff that is bad for me.

      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.
