Anyone else tried this yet? It is actually pretty good and the sugars and carbs are pretty low. post-250678-14456463412932_thumb.jpg post-250678-14456463517136_thumb.jpg

Please save this as a treat. It was tested for nutritional value and came up with up to 68% more calories than what is printed on label. Hate to be the party pooper but this will probably cause a stall if you're still in the losing phase! Nevertheless I love exploring all these options that keep popping up!!! Here's a pic of the article: post-262002-1445652660418_thumb.jpg

I got salted caramel and vanilla bean. I like the vanilla bean better of the two.

Don't get me wrong, this isn't going to taste just like ice cream. But that may be unrealistic to expect from something that is only 35 calories, no fat and limited carbs. It is more like a gelato that isn't quite as sweet. That being said, it is a great option for those of us who are on the Bariactric way of life. ????

They seem to address this article on their site, but like anything it is up to you what you eat. ????

Absolutely!!! And what works for one may not work for the other, no doubt about it!!! Just wanted to give a heads up, if it doesn't have any negatives please tell me so I can run out and buy that salted caramel ????

I would be concerned about the article as well and I appreciate you bring it up since I hadn't seen it. I hate to feel I am getting duped.

Just FYI, I thought the salted caramel was so so. The reviews on Amazon weren't wrong, it does taste probably a little more like a frozen Protein shake/drink if I think hard about it. But I have been using the syntax nectar cookie flavor frozen in a Zuko as an ice cream alternative and that is similar in taste and calories as well. I guess I don't really need it to be "real" ice cream as long as it gets me past the craving without mr going out and getting a bizarre. ????

Glad I read the whole thread, because I was just going to suggest Halo Top as tasting way better.

I haven't tried either, but I have Halo Top on my list if I ever get interested in ice cream.

You can really easily make your own low carb sugar free ice cream. I used to make it all the time and people can't tell the difference.

The strawberry ice cream recipe is really good from that site but it is in the cookbook and it is the one I have made.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
