Ice Cream Is The Devil--Whats Your Kryptonite?



Recommended Posts

I can polish off a pint of Ice cream since I have no restriction and Ive done it twice so far about 2 weeks ago. And I honestly dont ever want to have it again. for me it truly is about being out of sight' date=' out of mind.[/quote'] Doesn't matter what your restriction level is... ice cream melts and is essentially a liquid.

Was just thinking why doesn't anyone like SALT and then some said chips. Mine is chips and salsa... I'm hoping I can't ever eat them again because I don't know how not to eat them all. I'll be staying far, far away.

Biscuits, puddings, cakes, muffins - but i hate bread, weird huh?

Its that cakey combo of sugar and fat mmmmmmm.

I obce had a 4 litre tub of ic cream in the freezer for three whole years until we moved - obviously Im not an ice cream fiend.

Nuts though, salty or sweet (omg honey roasted cashews). I keep u salted nuts around, i can eat those in moderation.

I love some ice cream as well. I buy the no sugar added and its not as bad for me. I have been better by Portion Control because for me ice cream is so easy to put away. I have tried looking for some Greek frozen yogurt but the ones Walmart carries here are way too high in carbs and caleries! My other weakness is popcorn which I can also Polish off some. I was banded Dec 19 2011 and I am to the point that I miss eating sometimes. I am at very good restriction and can only eat a little but it us amazing how we can search out those slider foods. I gotta get back on track and stay away from them.

ice cream is my kryptonite too. i could care less about soda pop, alcohol or fried foods, but i love anything crunchy or sweet. For ice cream i try to look for a healthier substitute. Weight watchers ice cream, TCBY frozen yogurt bars, or a frozen sf Jello pudding cup are all really good. ( maybe once a month i get a DQ mini blizzard, sigh........................) I rarely like salty stuff , but yesterday..............?well, i found a good chip sustitute, Simply7 lentil chips. ( www. simply7snacks), they have 130 cals for 31 chips. Not greasy but crunchy and salty enough to satisfy me. I found them in the snack section at T.J. Maxx ! I know,strange.....................

I'm not real big on the ice cream thing, I do love it, but it's just not on my mind much. What IS is Decaf iced coffee with some sort of flavoring. It's my reward thing. Also, going to Double D's for the IC is somehow fulfilling and addicting for me. I think my therapist called it a control issue. I just love iced coffee!

I only eat 2 grams of sugar per entree, which I was instructed to do by my nutritionalist. Everything I eat is sugar free. They make great sf candies, Cookies, and ice cream. You still must eat these in moderation, but they are my lifesavers. I found out through this lapband that sugar was my culprit. I don't even miss it anymore. Many sugar free items out there and online, so if you are a chocoholic like I am, you can still be satisfied!!!!! Good luck :)

My downfall is chips and dips. It goes down so easy. Slider food!

I love ice cream too but I can do without.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
