Ice cream already? Holy Moly! STAY AWAY! Im 11 weeks out and have yet to try ice cream, it is full of sugar and could make you very sick this early out. Take a moment to re group and think about why you had this surgery, you will make a bad choice here and there but learn from it, and not just becuase it makes you sick. Do you think eating ice cream will keep you thin? Will it help aid you in your weight loss? if the answer is NO...they stay away!

I was sleeved same day as you. While I have not tried anything like ice cream, if I did it would be something like SF vanilla. Full sugar/fat ice cream with nuts in it is begging for trouble. But if you can from here on out, pick another option. I know you didn't go to this extent to keep on the same path and not lose the weight. I am sure there will come a time when you, I , everyone will test their sleeve in one way or another. But not this soon. Please be careful and let yourself heal. Revisit your NUT or doctors post op lists of foods to eat. While most would still be on full liquids, my doctor did tell me I could start on purees. Honestly, I haven't yet. I am not ready. I can handle cream Soup (no chunks) and yogurt. Even had some cream of wheat. Just take it slow and steady...And good luck!!!

It's interesting because I was feeling so good thus far I almost felt invincible where nothing would bother me...this was a nice reality check. By the way, cream of wheat is a great idea I'm going to try that for dinner.

Just curious if your doctor gave you a list of approved foods. It will be very useful at this stage.

Cream of wheat is a winner for me. Takes me 3 hours to eat an entire bowl. ( one prepared package) Make it a little thin, and use skim milk for extra Protein. I like plain with sweeter and pumpkin pie spice for flavor. Hope you find it enjoyable!!

Ask your nut or surgeon about no sugar added fudge pops. My NUT had me on those pretty early out, and they curbed any temptations I may have had :)

As far as full fledged ice cream?! No I wouldn't try yet. I have had some sugar free vanilla ice cream a couple nights...mainly due to hormones. If your NUT clears you for those, you could also try the frozen Greek yogurt. 1/2c. is 4g. of Protein. Not a lot, but better than the ice cream. I can't stand the regular stuff, but the frozen kind isn't too bad.

Best of luck and try hard to stick to your program. Your sleeve will thank you soon enough!

      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.
