Had a question for you guys. What is the sugar free ice cream or fudge pops you refer to sometimes? I can find ice cream with no sugar added, but not sugar free, same with the fudge pops. I have a cold and I would KILL for some ice cream or a fudge pop, but they all seem too high in sugar! :( Any recommendations would be awesome!! Oh, and I am on a stall...

I've found "no sugar added" products but not sugar free. milk has sugar so no getting around that. even the Eggface recipes for Protein ice cream have some sugar in them due to milk. She has lots of different flavors on her site. Yum!

Good idea!! Thank you! And that's true, I guess all of our stuff has sugar, just need to watch the amount.

To compound that information I was told that her other sister had bariatric surgery a year ago and now has been diagnosed with cancer. Please pray for this family, they need lifted up.

praying for this family. May God bring them comfort where there seems none to be found. Please dear God help them through this time and the days ahead. In Jesus Name we Pray Amen

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that--how very sad. Since it's been a month since her surgery, I wondered if she has had complications since surgery or if it's something that suddenly happened. Life is so fragile. So many of us are still recovering and I know complications can happen at any time but I for one am starting to finally feel "safe." How sad for her family--and for her sister and family to have to deal with that and cancer. I can't imagine. I pray for peace and love and good memories to abound in their home--and to you as well.

My doctor gave me two guidelines:(1) as listed on the package, the product has to have less than 25g of carbohydrates per serving, and (2) "sugar" can not be the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd ingredient listed in the ingredients. For what it's worth.

I can relate to your pain. My best friend and I were scheduled for surgery on july 3 and her surgery was at 9 and mine at 10. She died during her surgery so my doctor resceduled mine to give me time to mourne. It took me to december 5 to have my surgery out of fear. I kept having dreams about my friend and felt like she was telling me to go ahead. I've had no complications. I believe in God and feels that life will end when HE FEELS ITS YOUR TIME. I will pray for this family and you as well.

Omg, that is horrible about you losing your friend. I'm so sorry. Also condolences goes out for the family with the cancer diagnosis and death. Extremely heart breaking.

As for the SF ice cream: Blue Bunny is the SF ice cream and fudge pops I've always eaten, yummy.

I'm so tired of eating the same things over and over again. I'm so hungry right now but sick of everything I usually eat.

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

        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.

      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
