The standard list of cold summer treats may be a distant memory if you’re being a little – okay, a lot! – more cautious about your diet. Your weight loss surgery diet isn’t likely to include those cold treats like ice cream, root beer floats, ice cold soft drinks, and iced lattes. They’re way too sugary and high-calorie to have regularly.

Still, there are plenty of other cold treats that hit the spot, too. What do you do to stay refreshed, on track, and satisfied on hot days? I love frozen watermelon slush and sugar-free ice pops. Frozen bananas are a little higher in calories and carbs, but they’re way healthier than ice cream and still super healthy. What your summer secrets?

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.

Beer...
With a straw...

And pizza...

Not really...

I don't drink beer...

Best way to stay cold can be stated in four simple words...

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

Who needs ice cream to stay cool. :crazy:

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

LIttle late on this, but I have developed a taste for Arctic Zero! Love the chocolate, Peanut Butter chocolate, and salted caramel flavors, and love even more those particular flavors are 35 cal per half cup.
