Low-carb ice cream for maintenance stage



Recommended Posts

I am not truly planning out what to eat while in maintenance stage since I only had surgery yesterday, but a Facebook pal posted this and I wanted to share.

They have around 5 net carbs per serving because there are 9 grams of Fiber and 5 grams of sugar alcohol.

I'm nowhere near maintenance, but speaking only for myself, I can tell you that sugar alcohols and I are not friends.

And I would rather have one lovely bite of premium, full-fat, real sugar ice cream than all the "lite" versions in the world.

My personal preference is always for the real deal. Now that I have a sleeve,my restriction means I can limit my portions more easily (just now they're ridiculously small portions, but I expect that to change a bit in the next year or so).

This is the way I eat, also. I stay away from Frankenfood as much as I can and stick to smaller portions of the real deal if at all possible. More satiating.

My own experience -- others' mileage may vary --

Ice cream -- of all kinds -- is the crackiest crack food in the whole world for me.

All it makes me want to do is eat more of it.

I have learned to just say no.

I just freeze Protein Shakes and eat like ice cream. Endless flavors..... chocolate banana, Peanut Butter, red velvet caramel, coconut, dreamsicle, "rocky road", peppermint, hazelnut, cake batter, Irish cream, vanilla blueberry, etc....

If you look up The World According to Eggface on the Internet, she has several homemade Protein ice cream recipes as well as numerous other meals and Snacks that are bariatric friendly. I love visiting her site.

      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.
