Kinda Sad Birthday Party "cake"

With the bypass you will have to have sugar free or no sugar added for the rest of your life. If you eat something with high sugar content you will get whats called dumping syndrome. Vomiting' date=' severe cramping and diarrehea. My doctor told me I shouldn't eat anything that has more than 4 grams of sugar if sugar is the third ingredient in the product.. I have stuck with that since my surgery which was 3 months ago and honestly you can't taste any difference with the sugar free. There are a few things I don't like. I don't care for instant sugar free pudding or swiss miss sugar free hot cocoa. You still have to watch the calorie count because sugar free does not mean calorie free.. With any of the procedures it is a complete life style change. But it is well worth it. I feel so much better, can do alot of things I couldn't do before. I have lost 70 lbs since my surgery. I no longer have diabetes and I should be off by blood pressure medicine soon.[/sup']

SOME people will - some won't - have a good friend who does NOT dump - the actual statistic is 30% of patients dump

I'm pre surgery - and diabetic - and that sugar free stuff flys right thru me - I have it when I'm constipated - so I know all the sugar free stuff doesn't agree with me already

There is no one size fits all - and in the end - none of us can tell you what will happen to you

      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.
