Can we have sugar?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 weeks post op. Can we eat sugar? I've been buying sugar free everything but really want a good Froyo. I've read about dumping but gastric bypass patients, but was told you don't have to worry about that with the sleeve?

you can have sugar and the dumping isn't really an issue with the sleeve, though some people find they don't tolerate sugar anymore. The main point is that refined sugar is awful for you and makes you gain weight like gangbusters. So while having some sugar once in a while is ok, i wouldn't make it a habit or you will see yourself starting to pack on the lbs. Though natural sugars, like honey and that found in fruit and 100% juice is fine.

yes you can but they want you to try and stay away from it as much as you can, I have found some things that have sugar make me sick so I really try not to have it much plus I really dont crave much sugar any more

Are you still on liquids or progressed to soft/pureed? I was 2 weeks Monday-still on liquids.

My yogurt shop has wonderful! SF french vanilla frozen yogurt. I had some the other day (its on my list). I wish I had a camera to take a pic of the cashiers face when I put that huge bowl on the scale with my ounce of frozen yogurt lol. Came out to .58!

My yogurt shop has one yogurt on hand that is mainly for diabetics, its sugar free, and its pretty darn good, they rotate the flavor so you can try different tastes.

This ^^^ Not to be mean but why would you spend tons of money and have a part of your body removed just to turn around and put that same old crap back in. I guess thinking of it that way is how I have been able to deal with those desires. Its just a waste to me.

Good luck.

Because the point of the surgery is to reset your thinking and eating in balance--not on some strict sick person's diet for life.

At 3 weeks out, I would follow my doc's instructions. Your body is still healing and adjusting to the changes. Dumping sugar into your system will probably not go well.

I have symptoms of dumping if I over-indulge in sweets.. flushing, tachycardia, sweats and about 30 minutes later cramping. I do not have diarrhea with such an episode. Now, I have a goofy GI tract which is one of the main reasons I did not want a roux-en-y procedure so this could just be my crazy gut.

I prefer Stevia or Truvia these days.

More than 1-2 bites of something with sugar makes me feel VERY sick.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
