“The Ice Cream Chronicles: A Bariatric Survivor’s Sweet Redemption“
While everyone else joyfully devoured towering scoops of rocky road, mint chip, or soft-serve swirls, I sat in silent envy, clutching my water bottle like it was a consolation prize. Post-bariatric surgery, ice cream became my personal nemesis—one wrong bite and BOOM: dumping syndrome. That charming mix of nausea, cramps, dizziness, and regret that hits like a freight train. My stomach didn’t tolerate sugar or fat like it used to, and regular ice cream was basically a betrayal in a cone.
I’d smile and pretend I was “fine,” but inside, I was waging war against the universe for inventing something so delicious… and so forbidden.
Then—cue the dramatic movie music—I DISCOVERED THE NINJA CREAMi. (click here to purchase with Amazon)
At first, I was skeptical. Another kitchen gadget promising frozen bliss? But this wasn’t just a blender in disguise. It let me make high-protein, low-sugar, bariatric-friendly frozen treats that didn’t send my insides into meltdown mode. Greek yogurt, Fairlife shakes, a touch of fruit, maybe some sugar-free pudding mix—suddenly, I was a mad scientist of dessert.
Now? I don’t just sit on the sidelines anymore. I show up to family BBQs with my own little pint of magic and a smug grin. “Oh, you’re eating regular ice cream? Cute. I made chocolate peanut butter chip protein with 20 grams per serving and zero regret.”
The Creami didn’t just give me back dessert. It gave me back joy. Sweet, cold, creamy joy—without the crash AND without guilt.
