I don't know about you but candy (sugar) was a big culprit in my weight gain. No candy for me. Also, in the 12 weeks of classes I took prior to surgery I was told spicy things can hurt my new tummy and gum is out because it creates gas. If I continue to do the things I did prior to this surgery then nothing will change and I will not have the results I'm looking forward to. I personally want to change my life and make healthier choices and live life not confined by my body. Old behaviors must die for me.

I love spicy food, and my sleeve seems to tolerate it well. I steer clear of gum and candy.< /p>

I can tolerate spicy food and I'm about 4 weeks out. I was taught not to chew gum in public, so I never ended up chewing gum at all. But I would imagine both gum and candy have loads of sugar in them and I know, in my case, my new stomach can't handle sugar all that well. Best to avoid it.

This may sound harsh but has helped me to be more open to change; INSANITY=holding same attitudes and repeating same behaviors and expecting different results.
