Have you tried . . .

Hello Everyone, I am preop and discovered this incredible sugar free ice cream.  It is called Eddy's slow churned sugar free ice cream.  Have any of you tried this post op and if so, did you dump on it?  If i could have this post op, I would be so happy.  It is so good.  It tastes better than the full sugar ice cream.  You have to try it!

I'm banded so I wouldn't dump - but you are right - it is awesome!

Hi, haven't tried it so I can't advice you about the dumping issue. Myself I stay away from those types of foods as they have always been triggers for me and I tend to over indulge, thus too many calories.  All the best on your weight loss journey. Sher

Good Morning, I've tried the sugar free Edy's it is awesome.  I like the chocolate chip mint.  I do get very ill if I eat too much of it though.  Sugar Alcohol does cause dumping with me.  (everyone is different though) I don't keep it in the house much because Ice cream was one of my triggers before WLS.  It was my comfort food so I only get it occasionally & eat it sparingly.  As a treat once in awhile.  I have a wicked sweet tooth so I try to avoid my triggers even if it's sugar free.   Friendly's also has a good coffee sugar free that just came on the market.  It's more like ice milk than ice cream.  I experimented with that one also & dumps away for me! Again everyone's tolerances are different after surgery.  Only way you'll find out is unfortunately the "hard way" by trying foods once you're restrictions are lifted. BUT the end result is soooo amazing & how I feel outweighs any Jim Dandy ice cream sundae at friendly's !  :-) Mickey

"BUT the end result is soooo amazing & how I feel outweighs any Jim Dandy ice cream sundae at friendly's !  :-)" LOVE this statement and it is sooooooooooo true! For me, Sugar free treats are a must. I know me and how my body and brain work andIf I deny myself sweets 100% I go nuts and binge. I am 7 months out and dont mess with sugar at all so SF stuff is my lifeline....esp. at certain times of the month! Be careful of the sf stuff though. Too much can have a laxative effect and some people DO dump  from sugar alcohols. Take tiny bits, not often and go slow. Truly enjoy your treats and the cravings will not be as bad or as often!

I had lapband put in on 4/30/07 I stay away from things that were trouble makers before.  I poured advantage in a cup then put it in the freezer and that's my ice cream treat, try that.  Do you of you go the support meetings that Dr. Tishler has once a month in Hartford. they are very imformative and I would love to meet you.  Joanneg
