Ice Cream is a "red light" food for me, and it is banned from my home....I dont want any parts of it, sugar-free or other wise...

there's something called Yonanas that I've been eyeing up. It turns any solidly frozen fruit into "ice cream" but it's only fruit - no other ingredience (unless you add them yourself!) . The commercial for it makes it look awesome, but I really wanna try it before I spend $50 on it!

I'm not banded yet, but it looks like it'd be great!

Check out "The World According to Eggface". It's a blog written by a RNY patient and she posts wonderful recipes, including ricotta bake (to die for and allowed on mushies) and Protein ice cream! :)

On the Eggface site, you can "search" for recipes. I bought an ice cream maker and am getting ready to make her pistachio ice cream!

Breyers makes a CarbSmart line that isn't bad.

Freeze a banana in slices, put it in the blender with a bit of skim milk. It will turn the banana into a soft-serve like consistency. My daughter loves it, too.

Any of you just sit down and eat a little bit of your favorite ice cream....I had some rocky road less than a 4th of a cup and it was amazing. I have no intention of completely depriving myself :) although I make myself earn the treat like when I get done walking 4 miles I feel ok having a couple bites of Rocky road :)

Healthy Choice has a frozen greek yogurt that is great, has good Protein and tastes yummy. Can't remember exact sugar, but it was good.

My wife bought one of those yonana things and loves it. She got it right before my surgery, so i only got to try it once, but i also thought it was good. The consistency is just like ice cream, but it is all frozen fruit. I can't wait until i can have some of that, but I am going to wait a while longer, since I am only 3 weeks out. It would probably be ok right now, but I need the room for Protein.< /p>

No! No! And don't put the idea inside my head : ) I'm trying to stay away from the foods that got me to where I needed the sleeve. I'm also trying to get away from the idea of food as a reward. It does sound good though.

Yeah Skinny Cow are good. Weight Watchers also makes mini cones with 75 calories, or chocolate raspberry pops with 45 calories. Even a sugar free popsicle for 10 calories will sometimes satisfy the craving. I have done diets in the past where I completey banned certain things from my life, and then when I lost weight I craved those things so badly I would go berserk. So now that I am in this I want a lifestyle change that will stick. That includes learning how to deal with sweet treats in a healthy way, and these products have helped me to do this. That and fruit. Love me some mango!! ;)

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
