I feel your pain. Lol. I use my Vitamins and calcium chews to feed my sweet tooth. Good luck

I was just going to respond with same info. The sugar free calcium chews and Fiber gummies are so low in cals, you can have a few extra. And they make them in so many different flavors. My personal favorite is caramel, but chocolate and strawberry are also good. Just don't eat too many a day or you will end up with a different, let us say less desirable, issue. Good luck.

WHATEVER YOU DO.......do NOT eat anything with MALTITOL (sugar substitute). Unless you enjoy pooping your pants about 30 minutes later. OH. MY. GOSH.... Horrific. Then again a few minutes later, and then the rest of the night....

Are the Fiber gummies good if you aren't having a daily BM? I go 4 days before I have one. What is the name of them? Weirdly, before the surgery, I had a huge sweet tooth & I was a binge eater. I am 6 weeks post op & have not had a single desire for anything sweet. I am also NEVER hungry! It is like a switch got turned off. Has anyone else experienced this?

The fiber gummies I take are from Vitafusion and called Fiber well. They help, but not nearly as effective as MOM, Miralax or Smooth Move tea.

I've bought bags and bags of candy, but haven't torn into one yet. Not that I haven't thought of it:). Can't wait to pass them out tomorrow and get them out of the house.

Some people are really sensitive to the sugar alcohols in sugar free products. I love Life Savers sugar free wild cherry flavor. They are primarily isomalt which doesn't bother me. I also like the Werther's sugar free hard candies.

I try to use these only as a last resort. They aren't calorie free! But, they are obviously way better than my beloved Reese's PB cups!

I'm feeling the same way as you shewolf. Of course, I'm less than a week post-op so things will probably change, but right now even though I used to have a huge sweet tooth, the Isopure Protein drinks are now too sweet for me, and I even have to Water down crystal lite because it's now too strong/sweet. And absolutely zero hunger. I have to force myself to stay on schedule with my fluids.

Now I'm just waiting for the trick-or-treaters tomorrow to take all my candy because just the mere thought of eating even one of those is making me nauseous... in past years I could have finished off a bag by myself! :ph34r:

      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.
