Did any of you have any ice cream brands that are low sugar and approved for Bariatric’s?

I make my own "ice cream" like concoction very frequently. Nutritionally speaking its basically skim milk + Protein Powder

Personally I think the homemade stuff is going to be cheaper, healthier, and taste better than any of the store bought stuff.

I do frozen banana ice cream sometimes....you put frozen bananas in the food processor and eat it. LOL If you put some coco and splenda in there, it'll taste like chocolate banana ice cream. Not bad!

I'm not a fan of Halo Top....it has a weird powdery texture that kinda bugs me out. Kinda too sweet, too. (for me) Admittedly, I have not tried all the flavors.

This is my very favorite frozen treat: https://yasso.com/products/bars/chocolate-fudge/

I LOVE these...they taste so good, calories aren't bad and you get 6g of Protein for 80 calories! Much less guilt!

It's also nice that it's 80 calories of naughty that's in a nice little package...so you're not as tempted to overindulge.

Gotta be so careful with this stuff cause there's not much room for junk if you're getting your protein in and paying good attention to nutrition. For some folks, it can be a gateway to even naughtier things. (I am in danger of being just such an offender...so I watch this stuff really carefully)

I like Trader Joe's Cold Brew Latte Dessert Bars. They are not too sweet and only 40 calories

Halo top. There are so many flavors to choose from. I tried the Cookies and cream, which was good, but kinda blah. I added a little Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup and it helped.

I didn't like the Halo top flavor i tried (can't remember which one :o) but it was an odd texture thing for me too. I do like the Enlightened bars --- especially the mint chocolate chip ones but also like the frozen hot chocolate and the sea salt caramel. Mint chip ones are 90 calories/7 g of protein/6 g of Fiber.< a href="https://www.eatenlightened.com/products/mint-chip-swirl-ice-cream-bars" rel="external nofollow">https://www.eatenlightened.com/products/mint-chip-swirl-ice-cream-bars

I got a Cuisinart ice cream maker for Christmas - haven't made anything yet but looking forward to making some of my own sans preservatives...

Rarely if I have ice cream I usually just have a very small bit of the regular stuff. For me that has two advantages:

1 it satisfies me

2 if I have more than a kiddie size I feel very nauseous so I never over indulge.

halo is great, but has sugar alchol so could be an issue if you are sensitive to that.

      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.
