How Do You Stay Cool Without Ice Cream?



Recommended Posts

I second halo top. Love it.

Ice Water cools me off fine, although I rarely ever get hot unless I am directly in the sun. Being cold all the time is the bigger issue the being hot.

A strategically placed fan, with a straw and ice Water. Those, for the love of god, hot flashes had disappeared since the weight loss, but they are BACK now!!!!!

I seem to be getting some hot flashes as well. Not as bad as before the surgery, but just little short ones. But, it is very hot and humid where I live lately, so could be the weather too. I'm hoping they don't last!

Equal amounts of plain Greek yogurt and ricotta cheese blended with vanilla extract and artificial sweetener does it for me. It's cold and creamy and tastes even better with berries in it.

I love No Sugar Added frozen yogurt from those places that are like ice cream shops with all the toppings! I just avoid all the candy/cookie toppings and add fresh fruit to it. It's a great substitute for ice cream!

I also love making "homemade ice cubes". I take an ice cube tray and add one piece of fresh fruit to each square (I mostly use berries/cherries) and pour sugar free lemonade over it. Tastes delicious when its frozen :)

Also iced coffee with skim milk & Splenda, if at Dunkin, I'll get a flavor shot, too!

      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... :(
