I had lapband with plication in May 2012. I am having STRONG cravings esp certain times of the month for sweets. How does the sugar alcohol affect the carb count???

Thanks 2012 - I know what happens when you eat too much of them LOL sometimes better than a laxative

Is fitnesspal better than lose it?? I have been using lose it.

Thanks Missy for responding. I am on a 29 carbs count for the day and I was taught to read the nutritional labels from my dietitian. I found some sugar free candy that I would LOVE to have and it say is has 15 carbs but 15 of them are sugar alcohol. I have tried the Atkins Diet before and you didnt count those as actual carbs so I didnt know if anyone else had the same issues and had discussed it with their dietician. I left a message for mine on Thurs but she was out of town and will return next week.

I would like pictures please. Patandphyllis@gmail.com Thanks!! Phyllis

LOL I was wondering how you were doing... Yes I stay overnight due to having the plication.

I too had surgery yesterday... I had the lapband with plication. Came home from hospital today. Im a little sore but not enough for pain meds.

My checkin is at 530am and surgery at 8am. Not much longer now! We live over an hr from the hosp so we opted to get a hotel. My 19 yo son is keeping me laughing. I hope he is going to let me get some sleep lol Hubby is coming to hosp when he gets off of work

Mine are the Carb Control...

I like the EAS AdvantEdge. Tastes like strawberry Quik milk to me. I accidently froze mine and ate it like ice cream until I saw I wasnt supposed to. I called the company and they said it would only expand and distort the carton it comes in and the texture would change. It worked for me!!!

Tricia - we will be fine I have to be at the hosp. at 530am on Tues. I got nervous this morning when I realized I may never be able to eat my favorite meal again but .... my health and family is more important. I will learn to deal with it.

Tricia39 - you and I are on the same schedule. I have to be at the hospital at 530am! Can't wait for Tues to get here!!!!

I am having this procedure on May 15th. I am looking forward to it and the future after!!!

Hi everyone! I'm a SAHM with 2 teenage children. I started this journey less than a month ago and already have my surgery scheduled. I am going tomorrow for my pre-op and Dr visit and my surgery is next Tues. I have been lurking and look forward to posting in the future.
