I do. But I have been at goal for about a year now. I probably have it at least 2x a week.

I became somewhat lactose intolerant post sleeve so have had small quantities a handful of times over the last 4 years.

Something to think about,maintenance seems to get harder for some about 3 years post op so watch for any old habits sneaking back. I used to eat ice cream a few times a week and in generous portions so even if I tolerated it better I would limit it as it is an old trigger.

I do eat ice cream (probably once every month or two), since I've been at or below goal.

FYI, I reached my weight goal at 8.5 months post-op and have continued to slowly lose another 15 pounds since then.

But I sure didn't eat ice cream before I reached my goal weight!

I've had ice cream probably 4-5 times in the 29 months since I've had the sleeve. My stomach doesn't really like milk very much, but it is oddly tolerant of ice cream. Ice cream is one of those foods that if it doesn't make me sick, I will eat it all the time, so I just keep it out of my house. If I really want some, I'll have some, however I find that the one thing that makes me gain weight is sweets, so I just generally avoid them.

There's nothing wrong with eating ice cream, it's yummy, but I just don't have it much because I like it a little bit more than I should.

      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.
