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.

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!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
