Frozen yogurt is loaded with sugar so is sherbert. Try the skinny cow products they taste great and low in fat/sugur and calories.

Most froyo shops have sugar free flavors. I tried coffee sf froyo the other day and loved it until two bites in I realized it probably had caffeine and stopped eating it. Ugh!

I love sherbet' date=' but when I checked the containers in the grocery store they had too much sugar. My surgeon said anything over 17g will cause dumping. Thoughts? I'd love frozen yogurt from a ice cream place, but still afraid of dumping.[/quote']

Just a thought. How about shaved ice with DaVinci sugar free syrups? Sort of like a snow cone. Also, when my kids were little I used to make homemade pudding pops and yogurt pops. Just put your favorite pudding or yogurt in a Dixie cup, stick in a Popsicle stick, and freeze. With summer approaching and ice cream on my no-no list, this is what I plan to have.

I found a frozen greek yogurt at the store thats new and is AMAZING.

I get the blueberry and its so good. Taste like blueberry pie and has the same amount of Protein and sugar that a regular greek yogurt has.

Yes check the sugar

Always check your Total Carbs. Sugar may say 5 grams but it is not total carbs

ranchbrat, your point is important. All dairy has carbs which become sugar once they hit your blood stream, so it' s not just the sugar but the carb total that matters. Most NUTs talk about total carbs, not sugar grams but carb grams.

lucky for me, I gave up all cow milk products some time ago for antiinflammatory reasons. I make a coconut milk 'ice cream' without sugar. And I take frozen banana, blend it with frozen berries for something that is a lot like ice cream. Yes, the fruit has some carbs and I won't be able to eat this in the early months post op. Half a banana and 1/4 cup frozen berries makes a very tasty sweet treat for me and frozen bananas taste a lot like ice cream to me. You can also add frozen banana or berries to Protein shakes to give them a more ice creamy texture.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
