Since my surgery since June 26th, I have not had any real sweets. Today I found some sugarfree Werther's Orginal Classic Cream candies. I live in Korea now so options are limited. Anyways, it tastes just like the regular ones. I also got 40g packs of chicken breast Jerky. (Only 109 calories for the whole bag!)

Here is the nutritional information for the candy.< /p>

70g per bag

10g per serving-approximately 3 candies

calories-29

carbs-8.7g

sugar-o

protein-0

fat-0.9g

saturated fat-0.6g

trans fat-under 0.5g

cholesterol-0g

Made with isomalt.

I thought this was a great find but if anyone feels differently, I would appreciate your feedback. We do not have sugarfree popsicles and other low cal goodies in Korea so this is probably going to be my only sweets allowed. ( I eat 2-3 a day)

I love those too. I get the hard kind, they even come in coffee or mint flavors. I just keep it down to three a day.

When I was pregnant, they had these great lollipops that helped with nausea. I completely forgot how satisfying hard candy can be since then. I may have to pick up some of these the next time I am out. Thanks for the recommendation!

I try to stay away from hard candies. The less I have sugary candy (whether real or fake) in the mouth, the better I do. My "treats" for the day are the two Calcium chews I take. I use the ones that are the consistency of caramels. They come in chocolate, caramel or vanilla flavors. SInce I'm not eating candies - these taste GREAT to me.

Now, I do upon occasion use SF popsicles or SF fudgesicles (rarely) or SF pudding. If I didn't have access to those - I might not draw such a hard line on the candies.

Good luck to you!

I had surgery in one of the hottest summers in Korea so I would have given my soul for some SF popsicles! I envy you guys in the stateside. I will not make this a habit. I was just afraid I would start eating regular candy. I teach here so I always have a box full of them on my desk.

I have the Werther's sugar free hard candies too. I have one every once in a while. I also like the sugar free Russel Stover candy. The Peanut Butter cups are really good. Reese's makes sugar free cups also, but Russel Stover's are better believe it or not!

Kelly :rolleyes:

How surprising! I only remember eating stover's candy on Valentine's day. They weren't that great. I never liked Peanut Butter cups but you got me craving for one.:D

      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.
