No just sugarfree Popsicles but my family did go to Dairy Queen one night probably about a week ago and got a no sugar added dilly bar there's 5 g of sugar in it and I had about a third of it and I ate the 1/3 really slow just to be sure it didn't make me sick now this is something I would only do like every three or four months as a treat but it was a nice change of pace and it tasted so good and it did not make me dump.

I've had lots of SF popsicles and an occasional SF fudgesicle, but so far no SF ice cream. I'm a little afraid to try it, actually.

I have a sleeve so this might be different, but I make sugar free ice cream all the time. I use half and half, almond milk, oikos triple zero Greek Yougert, and eggs for the base. Then I use stevia and a variety of flavorings. I add 3 scoops of unflavored Protein powder. It has 22 grams of Protein per serving. My favorites are Peanut Butter where I add PB2 powder, and chocolate almond using crushed almonds and coco powder.

This way I get ice cream and meet my protein goals.

Do you use an ice cream maker? This sounds amazing! I am obsessed with mint ice cream, so if I am able to find a way to make it- I would be the happiest girl in the world

Yes.. I'm absolutely terrified! I haven't dumped, because I'm very very aware of what I'm eating, but I have been nauseated just because a lot of things we're able to eat, don't agree with my new pouch [emoji45]

I have a cuisinart ice cream maker, but you can find others on Amazon pretty cheap. For chocolate mint you could just use the cocoa and some mint extract. You could also throw in a handful of dark chocolate chips and skip the cocoa. Because I don't use cream it gets kind of hard so I put it in single serving containers with lids. This way I can nuke it for 20 seconds to soften it up a bit. I use 1 c half and half, 2 c unsweetened almond milk, 2 eggs, and two packages of the Yougert. I love it and eat one almost every day. Way better than a Protein Bar.

There is a brand of non-dairy ice cream called So brand and they make ice cream with Cashew Milk, Coconut Milk, Almond Milk. It tastes wonderful, and my pouch handles it quite well. Also, Klondike No Sugar Added Krunch and Plain bars. So far so good.

My husband bought me the Cuisinart Icecream/froyo/sorbet maker. I'm so excited! I just don't know a lot of recipes yet or how to use it

Breyers SF ice cream made me poop myself, no lie. My nutritionists says it was likely due to sugar alcohols in it. So never again.

I hear so many horror stories on here about people pooping themselves. I'm terrified.

Look up Halo ice cream, I haven't tried it yet myself (not a huge ice cream person), but the reviews make it seem good and the nutrition isn't bad either.

      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.
