I eat sugar free hard candy all the time. Jolly Ranchers are my favorite. Just be careful because all sugar free foods/candy can have a laxative effect if you eat too many. As far as the Laffy Taffy goes I would say try a small amount and see how you feel. Honestly though, if they are your weakness (mine is Nutella and Jif --- not together) you may not even want to get started. I wish I hadn't started on my trigger foods... :(

Laxative affect is not a bad thing :D

True for some, just a warning. I was a little "confused" the first time it happened to me because I thought it was just Sugar Free Chocolate that had that effect. Now I always put that warning out there... (sorry TMI) :)

Candy is my weakness

you can have candy in moderation

that being said, candy is my weakness too - i've found out that i'm finally strong enough to say no to candy for the past 9 1/2 months and for the rest of my healthier life

I do have candy in moderation. If you check the calories on the sugarfree kind it has almost the same as the real thing so I just go for the real thing.

You have to be careful with things that are sugar free as they generally make up for the loss of flavor with fat:(

      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.
