So...,, I was in the grocery store and saw some "sugar free" ice cream. Have any of you tried it post-op? This would be perfect to get rid of my hormonal sweet tooth..... I'll be awaiting responses before I give it a try

I tried sugar free ice cream but i didn't like the texture. I have found frozen greek yogurt by healthy choice, and it's in preportioned containers.

Whenever I want a treat I get the sugar free Klondike bars and they are awesome bit I usually end up giving it to my son.

Here is a comparison:

12g of sugar in the frozen yogurt with 4g of Protein

3G of sugar in sugar free ice cream with 3G of Protein

I buy the weight watchers ice cream. They are low cal 90-110 and they are perfect mini sleeve size. They have I've cream cones, sandwiches, and bars. They have a pretty good variety too.

Whatever type of ice cream you get, I suggest buying child size prepackaged containers because ice cream is the textbook definition of a slider food. The average sleeve isn't going to feel much restriction eating it.

& shayv123 I'm 8 months post op. I started having frozen yogurt at 1 month post op, then switched to regular ice cream at about 3 months post op.

I eat regular ice cream as well. A small childs size is enough. I no longer need the triple size sundae. My surgery was July 2011. Im the worst sweet eater ever but with the sleeve its easier to just eat a little and push it away. One oreo, no problem, one ice cream sandwich, no worries. Its all about Portion Control.< /p>

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
