Beware the Sugar-Free Jelly Belly: A Cautionary Tale



Recommended Posts

37 grams of carbs = nearly 4 units of insulin for me, so if I am going to indulge, I will indulge in something that doesn't send me to the can! Thanks fo your cautionary tale. It was a good one! :D

It's maltitol! Always always always check sugar free food for this ingredient. It even have my dog the runs so I check all dog treats for it. Many sf products use maltitol. Acts like a laxative. Not good LOL

Be really careful about keeping anything with xylitol away from your dog. Some people have had a pet get into sugar free gum & it can drop their blood sugar to deadly levels quickly, & also cause liver damage.

Although... if I can work out the right "dose" they're far more exciting than the 1/2 dose of Miralax I've been having to take every day to keep the Constipation at bay.

And fiber! They have fiber! See, they should be considered a supplement! (yeah, that's the ticket...)

So we were sitting around the office after hours talking about crapping our pants (sadly, this was weeks before this particular event)... I'm not kidding, the sewage-garbage duo is the crux of our professional lives. You probably don't want to know what else environmental health inspectors find acceptable workplace conversation topics...

Anyway, the general consensus was that if you say you have never had an oopsie in your droopsie, you're a total liar! So we are in good company! :P

      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.
