The one thing I hate about my band

First let me preface this with...I love my band, but as with any relationship, there is always going to be at least one thing that you hate about that person (thing).

What I hate about Babylapband (yes she has a name) is that I cant eat ice cream. It been this way from the beginning, I dont know if it is the cold of it sitting on the top of my band, but even though it should be a slider food.  Ice Cream no matter what, will come back up cold as it went down.  It is something that I deal with but sometimes, I feel like just throwing a fit...i want ice cream!!...Ok I am done being a brat.

I wish I had that problem.. ice cream go down far to easy now I'd be really happy if chips got stuck LOL 

I can tear up some chips for real, those are super slider for me, so I dont keep them around.

I wish I had that problem!  Ice cream goes down without a problem which is why its reserved as a once a month treat-no more.  But cold drinks?  Sometimes, especially after exercising all I want is a big cold glass of cold water, or iced tea...and just one sip and my band kind of spasms, feels like things are locking up and back up it comes. 

I've become the queen of lukewarm or warm beverages only.

I cant drink cold either, but I never like really cold water so it is ok...I LOVE ICE CREAM!!!!

Ice cream works too good for me....

I would like to eat a nice juicy burger..but ground beef is a no go for me, no matter how moist it is...Just doesn't happen!! 

I trade you, one juicy burger for some ice cream

Not that I'm advocating eating ice cream, but I believe in moderation... not deprivation...   and when I want my ice cream, look out because I have to have it!  So I feel your pain...

Are you eating ice cream with stuff in it?? ie: Rocky road, nuts, caramel, etc??  
Are you eating it slow enough?
have you tried fudge pops or something along those lines instead?

Ice cream is a total slider for me, as well as potato chips, and cereal.   3 things I cannot keep in my house because I will eat it ALL!

Good luck girl!!

Plain ice cream....I can eat it but it will come back up, fast and in a hurry, so I just stop trying but on days like this, I feel like whining about the fact that I cant have it, lol. I just saw someone eating some at lunch and wanted to throw a fit, I am sure if I could I would be crying that it goes down easy. Yogurt does the same but I dont miss yogurt so no big loss. Watermelon...same thing.  I cant eat and drink and I think the texture of these items are like drinking and eating to my band.  I drink and eat...i will PB. I think it is a blessing in disquise, I just dont see it that way when I am whining, lol

In some of my weaker moments I wish my band had an on and off switch.  I turn it off and I can eat  lots and lots chips and salsa and a big buritto...but I know if I could turn it off and on I would have it on off way too often.  I would rather be healthy and thin...than fat and eat too much food
