I tried some M&M's, I had about 5 when my sweet tooth woke up. Nothing happened (dumping) etc.

I don't want or want anyone experiencing dumping so I'm suggesting sugarfree chocolate. If you are doing fine with regular chocolate that's cool but we don't want to fall back on old habits & gain weight.

Hi everyone! I am new here and 8 years out since my RNY.....I am doing very well and after my Honeymoon period my body felt more comfortable to gain back 20 of the 130 lbs which my Dr. Said is perfectly normal. Ok, so that's me in a nutshell. What I want to tell all of you is........DO NOT TEST THE WATERS! You may think that since you tried the M & M's and did not dump you are safe. WRONG! The more you test the more you want.....take it from me I AM NOW A SUGARHOLIC! Just this week I BEGGED my Dr to put me on a strict sugar free diet. Since Wednesday I have lost 4 lbs. I am determined to get to my original goal weight of 155.

What I forgot to mention is......if you are craving sweets have a Protein bar.....if you are craving salt have some cashews!

Your right! Do you think sugar free is ok to have during your period? I'm not a sweet or chocolate fan but during Tom I do eat a (not several) sugar free dove chocolate & it makes me feel better. chips is no good but can't have cashew(dealing with keeping food down still vomiting will have 1 mth tomorrow)

I would suggest staying away from

Sugar free! Although youth think its " sugar fee " itore than likely is loaded with sugar alcohol. sugar free candy makes me dump believe it or not so I make sure I stay away from that stuff. Try not to start on the chocolate or chips again! I now on a carb free, sugar free diet to break my sugar addiction. My goal is 20 lbs by the end of the summer. I keep telling myself that every 5 lbs is a bag of sugar (lol how ironic)

Tberry thank you for sharing those words of wisdom. I was just making a similar point in a different thread. I will take your experience and use it to my advantage. I'm always trying to build upon and grow from hearing others stories and this was one a lot of us needed to hear.

Also good luck with breaking your sugar jones...

      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.
