Icecream is evil..!



Recommended Posts

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!

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

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?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
