Then it would be a good idea to say that in your question, wouldn't it?
Speaking only for myself, the dealbreaker for me is the presence of sugar alcohols. My sleeve doesn't have a problem with them but my gut sure does. I've lost my taste for sweets, anyhow, so seeking out sugar-free, lactose free ice cream isn't on my radar.

Is there such a thing or aren't they no sugar added? Too many calories...and a slider.

Not on my plan, too many carbs and calories and too little Protein.< /p>

I have 35 g of this at a time, which is about 1/2 a serving. I measure my serving, and put the rest in the freeze. I mean even if you snarfed the whole pint the calories and Protein are better than a lot of things WLS patients eat.
It can be hard to find though, you need a high end grocery store. And it is $5.49-5.99 a pint. A pint lasts me 2 weeks to a month.
If ice cream is your weakness then don't try this, it tastes just like ice cream. I don't really like ice cream, and I use use this to add some moisture to my Protein brownies some of the time. The lemon, strawberry, and vanilla are delicious.

With 6 grams of carbs and 25 grams of Protein, it should be fine.
One easy rule of thumb is to keep carbs under 10 and Protein over 10.

1 -- Yes.
2 -- I don't know. What does the label say? Is it within the guidelines given to you by your NUT? What is the protein to carb ratio?

what kinds of food are you looking for?

Only two months out about to be three months an I'm wondering if I can have bread, rice and Pasta?

At just on six weeks oput, you should still be well and truly under the guidance of your surgeon and/or your nutritionist...
You'd be MUCH better served by getting in touch with them and asking their thoughts...
Please remember this - very few people in here are qualified in this field..
Yes, the knowledge contained by the collective in here is vast and so very useful...
However, nobody here knows YOUR situation like YOUR team...
Generally speaking, the information and advice you can get from here is anecdotal and specific to each individual poster...
Please, before you make ANY changes to your diet (especially at six weeks or so out), consult with your respective professionals...
And if you've no such support, please seek out the name of someone in your area and speak to them...
Please...

I been away from junk food, fried food, any type of bread! Everything they said to stay away from! I'm eating really healthy

And the thing is- I can't see any difference. And I will not step on the scale until next week Tuesday for my post op visit. After that- once a week max. I hate being tied to it.
Thank you! When was your surgery??

when my weight loss has slowed way down, I get very hungry right before I loose a good bit. it's kind of weird. but it works. and I second that what matters is that you are eating quality food not junk. my surgery was also in February.

I don't like when the 'b' and the ')' get together and create a
It makes my post look like a smug little thing...
It's not...

Nope...
It's good...
If you're doing more exercise, you're burning more calories...
If you're burning more calories, you need to eat more...
You've just gotta make sure that what you're eating is a) not s**t, and not calorically more than you're burning...
When you get to this point, it's no longer JUST about calories in vs calories out..
This is where the macros come into it...
It may we worth talking to a professional and getting some information that is specific to your needs...
The last thing you want when you're doing extra exercise is for your body to go into 'starvation mode'...
That s**t sux balls!!!
Good luck...
Let us know how you get on...

Here is a NSV 7 days post op- this am in my closet for the heck of it I grabbed a pair of size 20 Capri jeans I couldn't get over my hips let alone ZIP 4 weeks ago. Guess what? I'm wearing them right now!!! And they look good on me!!!! Yahoo!

I bought a shirt that was way to small and would try it on at random times and it would fit better each time.

Bought my first ever exercise clothing. Had to exchange it all because I bought for my size 22 body, I am a 9 now. I went from XXL to Mediums. Wow!!

Thank you for your personal experience! It really helps! An lol
Thank you! I will take a note on that!

I started noticing little things that I could do that had been a struggle before.
Whether anyone else tells you they notice or not really doesn't matter. Just follow your program and you will be amazed at the changes YOU see in how you move, feel, function, etc.

Just keep going and trust it'll happen. No one noticed mine for 50lbs!!! All of a sudden your clothes will hang off and people won't recognize you and you'll be excited about your success.

this is fabulous!

For me the biggest difference is the increase in energy. I actually am driving my wife crazy doing all the things I was too lazy to do before. Maybe lazy is the wrong word... too damn FAT to do. Also am down from a button popping 52 jeans to size 46 falling off my ass. I am down 80 lbs since my pre-op diet the day after Thanksgiving, 50 since surgery on Dec 28. I don't have to have the steering wheel all the way up to fit in the car, my legs don't almost bust the armrests off the office chair, and I didn't need the extender belt on the plane a few weeks ago! Leftovers? Hell, that's all I can eat usually- two or three bites of whatever we had the night before. One other side effect is that grocery shopping is BORING! Maybe I really was a food addict!
Don't worry, you'll start to see and feel the huge difference soon. So will everyone else, and when they tell you how much weight you have lost, it's almost better than sex.

I would recommend grabbing something, maybe from the thrift store etc. that is the size you are now. Yes the dreaded try it on shopping experience. It is even ok if you get something snug. Take a pic of yourself in them, then put them away. Periodically, pull them out and try them on and retake the pic. Now I say thrift store because you do not want to go out and spend money on something that will be too big in a few months. And you are already going to have to get a new wardrobe.
I knew I was losing because of before and after pics, people told me, my face was slimming, I have a clavicle, thigh gap is starting to show, my shoes became lose, clothes too loose, etc.
Best wishes

I get up, pee(hey, Water is heavy!), and then weigh myself on a digital scale every morning. The numbers don't lie. I also set little goals(9 lbs until xxx lost). The first place I really noticed loss was in my face. Then my baggy clothes got even baggier, my pants got longer(not as much ass to hold them up!)until I could fit into the next size down. Rinse and Repeat until goal is met. There will come a time, not too long from now, when you see someone you haven't seen in a while. They will do a double take, and maybe raise their eyebrows. Trust me, you will get a serious case of the grins! Keep up the good work.
