I love this ice cream! It's a great treat that has a decent amount of Protein, low sugar, and low cal. I would caution people who have an issue with sugar alcohols to be careful, though. If you're able to enjoy a few bites and put it away, it's a great treat. The lemon cake is my favorite flavor. :)

The great thing about erythritol as a sugar alcohol is that for MOST people, it doesn't cause the GI disturbances that malitol, xylitol and sorbitol do.

The molecule that makes up erythritol is so much smaller, and very little of it can reach the colon to feed the bacteria that would cause the upset. And for the percentage that does make it- well the intestinal bacteria can't digest it. Erythritol enters the blood stream and 90% is actually excreted in the urine untouched.

It has a zero glycemic index too!

The warning for it is that should you consume over 50g at once you may have stomach upset/grumbling.

I've always been an ice cream fan, and this totally does the trick for me. I usually have about half the standard serving--so only about 35 calories and I feel like it's a real treat. chocolate Mocha rocks!

      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.
