I have had a little of SF and frozen yogurt as well as sherbert. I don't get really sick but feel sorta crummy for awhile afterwards - I have lost my taste for it anyway I guess.

If you decide to try, I suggest eating protein and complex carbs beforehand to help counteract the sugar. SF icecream will give you lots of gas.

I have had the Sorbet. I eat about 1/4 cup and am done. I get the small little cups of it, and scrape the top off, and put it back. Next trip, scrape a layer off and put it back. It takes me about a month to eat the little cup. I rarely have the dumping feeling and it is not severe, but ice cream is the one thing that I KNOW I cannot have. I get all funny feeling, and sick feeling. So I just stay away from it all together. I have tried the no sugar added, but that taste and texture isn't to my liking.

I find that the sugar free stuff messes me up more than the regular, but combine it with the dairy and it's no bueno. I sure miss it. It's the one thing that I didn't want to give up--I could say no to drinking, carbonated soda, dairy, what have you, but ice cream was my closest friend. It's probably for the best...

On the other hand, I am happy to report that my weight seems to be stabilizing at 112--been there a whole week!! Yay me!!

oh how i wish that ice cream gave me trouble but i have found i can eat an entire pint of my favorite flavors at one time. i know this is bad and i try to not have it more than once a week. oh how i wish that the sugar content would make me dump. but alas this is just one bad habbit i will have to fight on my own. please feel honored that ice cream will make you dump it will be easier to stop eating it.

yay donna, so glad you have been able to maintain that weight, still low, but so glad it has not gone down, and a week is great news, keeping my fingers crossed that you are now on the rebound to better health, hugs to you.

Thanks for the good wishes, Carrie!
I do actually feel pretty good, which lightens my heart. I have been so afraid that I wouldn't fully recover from this and would become another one of those people who get talked about at parties when the subject of GBS comes up. I actually got to hear one of those stories today while ordering my new glasses. The guy's CPA had it done a year ago and her teeth and hair have all fallen out, she can't keep weight on--he thinks she'll be dead within a year. I've been afraid of that being me.

The thing that is getting me through this and lifting me up is this forum and you good people on it. Good wishes and thoughts go a long way, and I've got the best support system I could have. I don't know words noble enough to describe the love and caring that we have here. My heart is full.

I haven't tried anything, too afraid of what might or might not happen. I haven't even tried the no sugar added ones because the containers are so big! Even if I could eat it, I would never be able to eat the whole thing before it got freezer burn. This is coming from someone who ate entire pints of Ben & Jerry's on a regular basis per-surgery.

I had been eating the sugar free popsicles and was getting extremely sick of them so i tried the sugar free creamsicles. I had my first one this morning and let me just say, YUMMY! I may try the fudgsicles next. I may never want to eat another popsicle, but these things rock!

Anyone try the no sugar added italian ices? Pretty good.

There are three foods my surgeon said we are never again to eat:

1. Ice Cream
2. Chewing gum
3. Any carbonated beverage including beer and champagne

I'm not an ice cream eater so its no big deal to me. My sympathies to those who crave ice cream.

I must be the oddball again... I can eat ice cream with no problems... as long as I don't eat too much at once... the ice cream I eat is by Blue Bunny and it is reduced fat, no sugar added... so it has low sugar content.... I really enjoy a small amount of it, and even get a little amount of proteing from it as well.. I have had the banana split flavor and Rocky Road flavor...

For me, I have been having some eating issues and throwing up at least one meal a day, but I ice cream (or icecream bars) stay down.. so they have been a blessing for me...
