MBird 298 Posted April 18, 2017 For goodness sakes. Please ignore the overly righteous rude replies you're getting. It's a thing whenever someone mentions food that doesn't fit a strict plan. My my doctor took the view that this is for life, and life requires some flexibility. He then encouraged me to enjoy my birthday cake that would be coming up after surgery. . The OCCASIONAL treat, given how small it will necessarily be, is probably ok for many of us. Only you know what other issues you have (diabetes, for example, makes some foods highly inadvisable, for instance). . That said, I have had, since surgery, about 50 calories worth of a truly delicious locally made sorbet without incident, a 20 calorie bite of my wife's ice cream sandwich (apparently it tastes like cheese to me now. Ew), a small scoop of lactaid ice cream when I was having trouble getting and keeping anything at all down, and have tried live active culture frozen yogurt (which comes sugar free, low fat, etc) with no complaints from my stomach. Does it sound like a lot? It's not. But then, I have no insulin-related disorders and each portion has been very small and fit within my own plan. . My calories have been on the low end of the range where they need to be, and my nutrition looks good so far. So everyone on my team is fine with that. . My main point is that you and your team know your nutritional and medical situation way better than strangers on the internet. My secondary point is that yes, yes, I have tried other iced things since surgery with no adverse effects on my sleeve or weight loss. My tertiary point is that you need to find a way to eat WITH your sleeve that you can stick to and maintain a healthy weight with for the rest of your life. Well said.

facebro29 272 Posted April 18, 2017 I had ice cream at 6-7 months out and NEVER again. Only had it as I was in Italy. My god I think I emptied my stomach out for the whole year and I only ate a little bit. Couldn't dream of eating it at 18 dpo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Layma 30 Posted April 18, 2017 I had ice cream at 6-7 months out and NEVER again. Only had it as I was in Italy. My god I think I emptied my stomach out for the whole year and I only ate a little bit. Couldn't dream of eating it at 18 dpo. That's probably because you didn't have it for such a long time and your stomach didn't recognize it or the level of sugars in it, not necessarily because it was ice cream. My stomach does that with avocados and that's because I used to hate avocados and they are rich in healthy fats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
facebro29 272 Posted April 18, 2017 I've tried ice cream twice and the same issue but everyone's body is different. I can't tolerate acidic foods either so I don't eat them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sullie06 1,013 Posted April 18, 2017 I love Halo Top when I want a treat. Right now the Mint Chip is my favorite but there are so many flavors I still want to try. I don't eat a lot of it but every so often, especially when I'm on my cycle, I will want a little something. I'm also 4 months out. 2 Clementine Sky and Ryan TN reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
