I am 15 days out. I am still on a full liquid diet. Do you think an ice cream cone or sundae from McDonald's is okay to eat? I Have well over the amount of calories left.

hello there..

i would not recommend it.. i am 7 days post op and tonight i had a taste of my son's ice cream... BIG MISTAKE. i have been throwing up for more than 15 minutes... it feels terrible.

. Hope you feel better soon.

I had about half of a Carmel sundae. Sitting okay so far.

I take that back. No throwing up, but my tummy isn't happy. Darn me!

so sorry to hear this. i feel better now. but ice cream is a NONO for now...

I had just plain vanilla without anything on it and i did just fine. Hope you feel better!

Thanks! Plain vanilla next time!!!!

At about a month out I went to Tutti Frutti and had about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of frozen yogurt. It was either low or nonfat with no toppings. And I really enjoyed it...no problems. I think we have to take rich foods small, slow and easy; especially greasy or sugary stuff.

You need to be extremely careful! Ice cream, is on my no way list. My surgeon said it was a slider food & could impede my weight loss. Plus, the magical period of the sleeve will not last forever...use this time to retrain yourself to enjoy healthy foods! I'm amazed that I actually like yogurt & veggies!

I think more than the fact that it might not make you feel well is the point that we're supposed to be changing our eating habits after surgery and if you go right back to your old eating ways then the future doesn't look too bright, sorry to say. There are many healthy things you can eat during the liquid/mushy phase that are much better for you than an ice cream sundae. Just my opinion.

I tried some thinking it would be a good change of pace but oh man was I sick. I have developed lactose intolerance plus the issue with too much sugar at one time. I was miserable for about an hour.

Gregin I did not come here to be chastised. I merely asked a question. I am struggling to get my calories in. I thought this might help me. I am not slipping back into old ways. And personally I didn't get fat from eating one sundae. So please, if you can't give me words of advise, don't respond to my posts. I come here for support, courage and strength. Not shame.

I would personally choose a better option. Ice cream this early out is just not recommended, it's nutrient lacking, and empty calories. Grab some greek yogurt, flavor it with some sugar free pudding powder, and enjoy. There are tons of better options out there. Just because you can "afford" the calories doesn't mean those calories should or can be lacking in nutrients and/or a benefit to your body.

This is about making better choices and in the long run, believe it or not, making the best decision gets more difficult. I agree with making the best choice/decision now rather than just eating crappy food just because you can afford it with your calorie intake.

Breyers makes Carb Smart Vanilla ice cream and it is really good. It only has 4g net carbs and 90 calories in 1/2 c. I have had it a couple times when I was needing it in the past few weeks.

I did not eat it until about 4 months out tho. I am afraid of eating sugary things for fear of getting sick, but my husband found this and I thought I would try it.

It really tastes good for it being so healthy!

Really? You asked about the wisdom of eating a sundae on a weight loss board, a week after having 90% of your stomach removed. If you feel chastised why not ask your surgeon? Perhaps he'll tell you what you want to hear!
