Halo top ice cream

I haven't tried that brand, but my nutritionist suggested ENLIGHTENED Ice Cream , high Protein and high Fiber while being low sugar and low fat.

Let us know how it goes, I'm curious

is it ok to eat low or non fat yogurt after surgery and during the post op weeks?


Yogurt yes,
Mostly Greek yogurt is recommended because of the Protein count.

Fro-Yo, I'm not sure when you can add that

Where can you buy Halo Top Ice Cream? Is it a health food item or can it be bought at General supermarket, Target or Wal-Mart? You've piqued my curiosity.

I got it from Walgreen's pharmacy but I have seen it in Walmart too.

I’ve taken 1/2 cup halo ice cream 1/3 cup fair life fatfree milk and sugar free Hershey’s Syrup. Makes a yummy little shake

Now this seems dangerously cool [emoji41]

But I worry about drinking calories...

I can drink way too fast with no problems

I love **** out of Halo Top, but I have to make sure I only buy it sporadically, as it's addictive. Even though it's not so bad nutritionally, it's probably not a good thing for me to be eating sweets four days in a row, much less planning my whole day around making sure I have enough carbs left.

I dunno. I think it's awesome, but I still have to make sure I treat it like a special treat, not as a regular thing. The grocery here Mariano's has a brand called Low Cow that is pretty much the same deal but $1.50 cheaper. Mariano's is owned by Kroger, so it may be elsewhere too.

The one I really wonder about is Wink, which is insanely low carb and low cal. It has 100 calories and 20 carbs (16 of which are fiber) in an entire pint. I've seen it advertised online, but no one near me seems to sell it.

Not sure if I even believe something with that small a calorie/carb footprint can even taste good, but I wouldn't mind trying.

At nearly $7 a pint I don't think I will have a problem keeping it sporadic.
I wish there was a really high Protein ice-cream

$7?? Holy crap at the price difference between areas in the country. It's usually like $4 something around here. Sometimes we get lucky and they have it on sale and it's something like 2 for $7. Every once in a great while Aldi's will get a shipment and it's in the $3 range. Either way the price point means it's something we don't get too often.


Have you ever checked out the ice cream recipes on the Eggface blog? I tried one a while back and it was decent enough. Granted I use a pretty meh tasting Protein Powder but serves its purpose for regular shakes. I used it to actually make ice cream and it was okay. With a better Protein it would likely taste way better.

I usually do a mix of milk and ice in the blender to give it a milkshake consistency. Normally I'll only ever do that in the evenings if I need to hit protein for the day and acts as a sort of treat. I may try using some of the Halo thrown in to improve upon that.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
