sugar-free juices?



Recommended Posts

Can someone tell me where I can find sugar-free juices? I have to admit that I'm not quite sure what that means. I thought sugar-free juices meant basically no carbs but the ones I saw at Walmart that claimed to be sugar-free all were loaded with carbs. I have a juicer and might have to make my own, at least initially after surgery in 3 days but I'd much rather purchase REAL sugar free juices. I can't live without my juice (which is a soda substitute for me since I was hooked on sodas). Besides, that juicer is HECK to clean!

Fruits have sugar... I've never heard of this??

Any fruit juice, even if labeled as sugar free, is going to have carbs. The reason being is that all fruit has carbohydrates. I was a soda addict, too.... big time!

Eta: the sugar free stuff usually contains a small percentage of fruit juice.

Fresh fruit is naturally sweet and don't have artificial sugar or sweeteners but I guess I get confused when it says 100% juice and sugar free but then have corn Syrup added as a sweetener. I'm just gonna have to use my juicer. That way I will be positive that I know what I'm taking in.

When I need "sugar free" juice, I get them from food For Less, which is part of the Kroger chain here in Chicago. They are 5 calories, and though they are not 100% juice, they satisfy that fruity flavor in my mouth. Ocean Spray has some cranberry w/ other fruit that are 5 calorie.

I like the Ocean Spray Diet Blueberry myself. An 8oz serving only has 5 calories, and 2g carbs (2g sugar). Doesn't taste too bad either! They have diet cranberry, and diet pomegranate blueberry as well for other flavors. I also opt for low cal/low sugar orange juice as well.

What kind of juicer do you have? I'm looking into getting one and juicing after watching a documentary on net flicks but not sure what to look for to get best for less

I have the BIG BOSS juicer. You can get them in Canada for less then $70 At Walmart. It works great. Juicers are a pain to clean sometimes but it's worth it!! There are so many yummy yummy recipes.

I also have the Nutribullet as well. And I use that when I'm in a hurry and don't have time to juice.

(I'm pre-op)

Sobe life Water tastes decent.The sugar free poweraide and gatoraides taste good too. Not really a "juice" tho but when I started getting ready for surgery and awhile after I drank a lot of those powdered crystal light type things to transition off carbonation as I too had been a soda junkie. I mostly just drink Water and coffee now tho. Thankfully my craving for drinking sweet stuff has mostly subsided since being sleeved. My Dr. told me awhile back that juice really isn't that great for you, might as well eat the fruit and get the Fiber in as well. :)

      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.
