Blue Bell Ice Cream Hell!!!!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

when i was in college at texas a&m, my lab partner was this country guy who worked at the bluebell factory in brenham.... every week he would come in wearing his work clothes and his bluebell hat... and it had a different color smattering each time... he would point out the flavor splashes on his hat and shoes... and he smelled like ice cream.... different flavors each time....

IT WAS HOT! i would take a man that smells like Cookies n cream over eternity anyday!!!!!!! hahahaha

OMG!!! You are hilarious!!! You should be a writer!!! how about for the Slim Fast or Atkins commercials??? Then Blue Bell would not stand a chance!!!

I am with you too..ice cream is only ONE of the many things I absolutely CANNOT bring into the house.....!!! And won't....ask me in a year....see if I feel the same...if I do....then I consider this surgery a total success!!!....which i feel it is anyway!!!

N*

Who in their right mind at the grocery store came up with this stupid 10 for 10 sale on half the things in the store????? That person ought to be drawn and quartered.......demonic concoction ....... This stuff is addicting. ........ "we eat all we can and sell the rest." ....... just say no to singing cows.

I was so GLAD to see this post. I love ice cream, but it seems to me that since I've been banded, there's an ice cream or a Pringles dealer lingering around every freakin corner I turn. I SWEAR I've probably eaten MORE (in smaller quantities with more frequency) of both post op than I EVER did pre-op. I could go literally months and months without thinking of either...and now....oh HELL no....there they are AGAIN. "hey baby, I got what you need....just a taste sugar, take a lil lick, who's it gonna hurt darlin?"

BOOM - next thing you know I'm turned out on corner working for bowls or cones. I could be a freakin after school special "The Downfall of Dori: How a lick and a crunch led to life on the streets"

Well I finally put my foot down last night after she came home with 10 more. I told her she had to get that out of the house immediately. So She took it to the freezer in the garage. Figures, eh? Well it really is par for the course. I usually have the last word in our arguments. They usually end with me saying, "Yes Dear." :-)

Blue Bunny has sugar free kind made with Splenda. Which is better...but doesn't help when one eats the ENTIRE container. Evil I tell you. Evil.

Ice cream is, in fact, one of the things my Dr. told me to look out for. "It slips right through" he said. Yeeks!!

well chocolate is officially on my evil list. It is evil and aware. I was at a party last night and had on a white T-shirt. Someone mad a cake which had chocolate sauce dripped on it. So I took a very small bite. Pea Sized, in fact. I then went into the main party room and the first thing my wife said was, "So you've been in to the cake!?!?!" Sure enough, there on my white shirt was a drop of chocolate 3 times bigger than the piece of cake I had. It's just not fair....... boo hoo.......:-)

It's that good. We have Ben and Jerrys here and I will admit it is very good also. However you can only get it in the little pint sizes so it never has sold here as well as Bluebell. It kind of ticked off quite a few people here when Bluebell went to surrounding states. I guess some of us wanted a monopoly on the stuff. I guess they won't ventire to extremely far as they deliver their own product with their own trucks. But heck, thise 18 wheelers can leave Texas and be in New York in 2 days these days. So it may show up there real soon. Meanwhile Ben and Jerrys will suffice just as well. Especially Cherry Garcia.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
