Ice cream already? Holy Moly! STAY AWAY! Im 11 weeks out and have yet to try ice cream, it is full of sugar and could make you very sick this early out. Take a moment to re group and think about why you had this surgery, you will make a bad choice here and there but learn from it, and not just becuase it makes you sick. Do you think eating ice cream will keep you thin? Will it help aid you in your weight loss? if the answer is NO...they stay away!

I was sleeved same day as you. While I have not tried anything like ice cream, if I did it would be something like SF vanilla. Full sugar/fat ice cream with nuts in it is begging for trouble. But if you can from here on out, pick another option. I know you didn't go to this extent to keep on the same path and not lose the weight. I am sure there will come a time when you, I , everyone will test their sleeve in one way or another. But not this soon. Please be careful and let yourself heal. Revisit your NUT or doctors post op lists of foods to eat. While most would still be on full liquids, my doctor did tell me I could start on purees. Honestly, I haven't yet. I am not ready. I can handle cream Soup (no chunks) and yogurt. Even had some cream of wheat. Just take it slow and steady...And good luck!!!

It's interesting because I was feeling so good thus far I almost felt invincible where nothing would bother me...this was a nice reality check. By the way, cream of wheat is a great idea I'm going to try that for dinner.

Just curious if your doctor gave you a list of approved foods. It will be very useful at this stage.

Cream of wheat is a winner for me. Takes me 3 hours to eat an entire bowl. ( one prepared package) Make it a little thin, and use skim milk for extra Protein. I like plain with sweeter and pumpkin pie spice for flavor. Hope you find it enjoyable!!

Ask your nut or surgeon about no sugar added fudge pops. My NUT had me on those pretty early out, and they curbed any temptations I may have had :)

As far as full fledged ice cream?! No I wouldn't try yet. I have had some sugar free vanilla ice cream a couple nights...mainly due to hormones. If your NUT clears you for those, you could also try the frozen Greek yogurt. 1/2c. is 4g. of Protein. Not a lot, but better than the ice cream. I can't stand the regular stuff, but the frozen kind isn't too bad.

Best of luck and try hard to stick to your program. Your sleeve will thank you soon enough!

      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!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
