Ice cream
Anyway, does anyone else get stuck on ice cream? I now have a terrible time getting it down. If it keeps up, it may no longer being the treat it once was....
Are you tight on any other "slider' foods?. Maybe you need a slight unfil. I would, cuz I will never ever totally give up ice cream.
5.0 cc in a 10cc lapband (four fills) 1 unfill of .5cc on 5/24/2011.
.5 fill March 2012. unfill of .25cc May 2012. Unfill of .5cc June 2014.
Still with my lapband with no plans for revision. Band working well since
last small unfill.

Sigh. I LOVE ice cream. This could make me sad. At least for a few minutes.
I believe it has nothing to do with being tight its the cold for me it happens when I drink something real cold and a lot at one time

anyway, i think it's the cold, too. If you can eat a yogurt, then it probably would not be the creaminess. I left a water bottle in my car and it was on the verge of freezing with chunks of ice in it. i took a big swig of it and it felt stuck and hurt. i think it's the cold. for me, at least.
So.. here's an idea..... try freezing a tub of cool whip. it is low in calories and low carb. Often, not always, when I have an ice cream craving, I will put 2 heaping tablespoons in a small cup and add some rediwhip (lol, its 15 calories a serving) and a couple of sprinkles for good measure and i am satisfied (most of the time). AND the thing about cool whip is, it's temperature does not get as low as ice cream. for some reason, not that i care at all about the science behind it, it does not get freezing cold when frozen.

If the cool whip and ice cream are in the same freezer, then the laws of thermodynamics dictate that both will reach the same temperature. However, cool whip, being mostly air, is much less dense than the ice cream (in science speak, it has less "thermal mass"). Therefore it does not take much heat to warm it up. This has the effect of making it appear less cold when it's actually just that the heat from your mouth/finger/whatever warms it up much more quickly than with the ice cream.
For me its the COLD stuff that I have trouble with. Thats why I have to have my cup of hot coffee in the mornings before I can even think about eating anything. I am also a ICE CREAM ADDICT. I think this is God's way of keeping me accountable for how often I "treat" myself to my addiction. LOL sugar free jell-o and s.f. pudding have become my friends now. I slurge sometimes and buy it ready-made, but most of the time make it myself at home and put it in little 1/4 cup serving plastic dishes. Just the right size for a little desert.
