Oh I wouldn't eat something with sugar- just thought if we can have Popsicles maybe they had something SF / working to hard at this to ruin it!!

Congrats on deciding on the sleeve! DQ doesn't offer anything that's sugar-free, and most stores only have 1-2 items that have no added sugar (likely to still contain a ton of natural sugars).

I would advise against it, as I doubt they have anything that is a good mix of high Protein, low carbs and low fat. Plus, some sleevers say sugary treats don't sit well with their new tummies. But if you're really interested, Google "Dairy Queen Nutrition" and you'll get this. Personally, I glanced at it and they're all a little too high in sugary carbs for my preference. That being said, I think too much deprivation is not good for the long run. Perhaps if you have a friend or loved one who's willing to share a treat, let you have a bite or two? That usually satiates me when I have a hankering for something sweet, not more than once every week or so.

Try a sugar free popsicle. 15 calories. That's my go-to when I need something sweet. :)

I can't remember where I heard this, but I've heard that 7g of sugar or less is going to be the best to stop the tummy from being nauseous. I would say you could have a little something, but the key word here is little (like a tablespoon or 2).

I chose a bottle of Fred instead - zero everything :-)

You can find frozen yogurts that are sugar free and really good because you have been so long without sugar. I actually find it beneficial to allow myself to occasionally indulge. I gave up smoking, I gave up drinking, I gave up my food addiction. I feel that if I don't get an occasional treat I will go overboard. Not everyone can do that, if sweets were your weak spot before than you may want to consider what treat you allow yourself. For example, I can never ever go back to sodas. That will open a flood gate for me.

Fred is amazing natural spring Water - I don't know WHY but I love it- it's got a velvety texture- crisp and refreshing- I find it at Holiday!!

I have had DQ once, about 3 months out. It was HORRIBLE!!!! My stomach had fits for hours. Diarrhea for an hour. Cold sweats, shakes. I know some people say sleevers don't dump but I would like to know what else it could be called. Now when I want an icream i have a skinny cow (yum) or TCBY. McDonalds plain ice cream would be healthier i would think, its a type of yogurt custard. My town also has a couple frozen yogurt places but I don't enjoy any of those flavors.

It's all about portions and moderations. If you want some ice cream, get a small amount. Usually If I get it into my head I want something I say, if I want it tomorrow still I will get it. Sometimes I eat it, usually I won't.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
