Icecream is evil..!



Recommended Posts

I have decided that icecream is evil! lol I was never really that fussed with it before I had my band-but now I crave it daily! I know when I have had a bad day,and feel good when I have managed to stick to one a day. My weight loss is fine at the mo,but I wish I could stop thinking about the stuff. Im sure I will get over it in time,but its just so yummy!

Anyone else had any cravings after being banded?

Hi Laney, I don´t want to come across as being a drip, but girl you need to stop the ice-cream habit now. Your body has found a sweet it can tolerate and you are feeding the habit purely because you know it goes down smoothly. Rather opt for Protein drinks or drinking yoghurts. All the ice-cream you are taking in is wasted calories and will slow down your weight loss.

There is nothing wrong with having one every now and then. It´s not like we want to stop living a normal life, but everything in moderation. Remember why you went through this.

Take care of yourself.

Time for you to get a cuisinart ice cream maker and make your own Protein ice cream. PM me if you want a recipe for chocolate Peanut Butter protein icecream. Thats my plan!

I was just banded a month ago and I have been having ice cream everyday. It is my device for emotional eating but it has caused me to regain a couple of pounds. I must stop but it is so easy to get down and soothing

I agree ice cream is evil evil evil!!!!! i had the lap band 6 months ago and have lost nothing, nada, absolutly ziltch! I feel like i have thrown £8000 down the toilet, i am going for meeting with my surgeon tomorrow for a fill, i also went through the emotional turmoil of maybe its too full so i cant eat fruit and veg and Protein and then when he empty's it i feel like i dont even have a lap band in, i just dont know what to do anymore, i am a complete emotional eater, i have got to stop! I joined the gym a few weeks ago, i love aqua classes, so maybe that will help? has anyone gone through what i have gone through?

      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.
