I have decided that icecream is evil! lol I was never really that fussed with it before I had my band-but now I crave it daily! I know when I have had a bad day,and feel good when I have managed to stick to one a day. My weight loss is fine at the mo,but I wish I could stop thinking about the stuff. Im sure I will get over it in time,but its just so yummy!

Anyone else had any cravings after being banded?

Hi Laney, I don´t want to come across as being a drip, but girl you need to stop the ice-cream habit now. Your body has found a sweet it can tolerate and you are feeding the habit purely because you know it goes down smoothly. Rather opt for Protein drinks or drinking yoghurts. All the ice-cream you are taking in is wasted calories and will slow down your weight loss.

There is nothing wrong with having one every now and then. It´s not like we want to stop living a normal life, but everything in moderation. Remember why you went through this.

Take care of yourself.

Time for you to get a cuisinart ice cream maker and make your own protein ice cream. PM me if you want a recipe for chocolate peanut butter protein icecream. Thats my plan!

It just cures every craving i have had the entire day. I never liked ice cream that much before and i don't know why i like it now........but i do!!!!! I told myself after this box i was not going to buy anymore at all... Try this...it is great

1 sugar free Jello pudding...choc ..vanilla...or caramel

2 packets of sweet n low

1 tablespoon of Peanut Butter

1 squirt of sugar free choc syrup

10 or more cubes of ice

I was just banded a month ago and I have been having ice cream everyday. It is my device for emotional eating but it has caused me to regain a couple of pounds. I must stop but it is so easy to get down and soothing

yes, Ive been craving icecream also. i had to force myself not to stop and get vanilla shakes after work.

I agree ice cream is evil evil evil!!!!! i had the lap band 6 months ago and have lost nothing, nada, absolutly ziltch! I feel like i have thrown £8000 down the toilet, i am going for meeting with my surgeon tomorrow for a fill, i also went through the emotional turmoil of maybe its too full so i cant eat fruit and veg and protein and then when he empty's it i feel like i dont even have a lap band in, i just dont know what to do anymore, i am a complete emotional eater, i have got to stop! I joined the gym a few weeks ago, i love aqua classes, so maybe that will help? has anyone gone through what i have gone through?
