There is a difference between sugar free and no sugar added. If a product contains natural sugars (such as fruit or milk) it can be marketed as no sugar added. I do consume sugar substitutes such as Splendra or nutrasweet. Some people say you should not. I like Mio (liquid you add to water), Vitamin Water Zero, and a VWZ like product from costco, Ice coffee black with Splendra.

As to foods with "sugars" I would try to only consume foods in their natural state. Plain fruits not something in a bar like Nutragrain bars. I really prefer to eat my veggies raw (though now at restriciton I can't eat baby carrots raw). I don't worry so much about the carbs in plain veggies or fruits.

Other foods that have sugars ie carbs I don't eat like bread, Pasta, rice, crackers.

Crystal light cures the Water only blues. I also started experimenting with hot and iced teas to break the boredom. Just keep trying new flavors until you find the right one.

I like SF Hawaiian Punch. Some of the flavors have 1-2 carbs in a 16.9 oz bottle of Water. However, the BerryLimeade has 0. I like the fruit Punch and the Lemon berry Squeeze.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the SF Hawaiian Punch powder flavors....they sell them near the crystal lights. I have a major sweet tooth and I hate Water. These cure both issues.

Not sure if you have a store near you that would sell them, but lately in addition to the Crystal light, I've also been using this little tiny bottle (about the size of a tic tac container) that you use one squeeze out into a bottle of cold Water and it flavors it. No sugar, very handy to just keep in your pocket or purse. I like the peach mango flavor, the lemonade is good too. They come in I saw maybe 5 or 6 flavors. Got mine at Walmart and they come in a name brand or for a little less, the Walmart great value brand. I think you get 25 or so servings in one little bottle.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
