Anyone Heard About Gummyowls?



Recommended Posts

I saw an ad on Facebook for Gummy Owls. They have no sugar and have yam Fiber and a little Protein and sugar alcohols.

Check them out and see what you think? http://www.gummyowls.com

Personally, I gave up on candy substitutes all together. Not having any for the last four months has totally killed my desire to eat candy or chocolate. I figure using substitutes as a crutch would only keep that addiction going so it worked better for me to tough it out and break the habit cold turkey.

Reading over the information I personally wouldn't take it. My stomach is already small and makes it harder to get the Protein and Water in that I need, so if I take these it would be even harder to do so. It claims to makes you feel full longer which would work if I had a normal stomach but I need all the water I can get in at this point.

I have a friend at the office that has a vertical sleeve and the interesting thing is that she went in for a hernia repair and because it was so large the doctor actually did a sleeve and it's a good thing because she needed to lose weight anyway - but she didn't go to a nutritionist or have any counseling or anything on what she was supposed to eat and since she was eating Gummy bears the other day and says she wasn't going to give them up but she has quit losing weight and I told her a little about what our nutritionist had told us about getting enough Water and Protein and not eating sugar. I figured I'd tell her about these because at least they have no sugar and have Fiber and a little protein and if she was going to eat gummy bears anyway ...

Well, they've got to be better than the real thing. I wouldn't fault a smoker for using those nicotene tubes when trying to quit so this probably isn't much different. It's intersesting to see the different little things that each of us get hung up on.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
