Beach Lover 1,084 Posted January 19, 2014 You can eat whatever you want. The thing is can you tolerate the honey and there is only 1 way to find out. My guess is you should be fine as long as it is only a little amount. My doctor warned me to try questionable things at home and not in a restaurant. Good luck! 1 JOANNE M HOLL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamsoworthit 430 Posted January 19, 2014 I'm not sure which surgery you had but if it is rny I'd be careful with honey. Especially if you are not sure if you dump or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLCoggin 1,788 Posted January 20, 2014 Dumping is less common with the sleeve than the bypass since the sleeve preserves a functioning pylorus valve. But as others have said, the only way to be sure is to give it a try. Everyone is so different that it can be difficult to predict individual reactions. Congratulations on your surgery!

LeanMeanFightinMachine 38 Posted January 22, 2014 Had surgery 10/15/13. Can I use honey ???? I had the RNY surgery three weeks ago and I tried a very small amount of honey today on my yogurt. I missed my usual morning yogurt, with honey and pecans. Sooooo... Just ate a teeny bit and seems all smooth sailing so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gomekast 559 Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) I had VSG 10/22/13 and I have had honey. I actually use it as a tincture..mix it with cinnamon and take a small spoonful at bed to ward off the flu and colds that my Minnesota weather brings my family. My family has been cold and flu free so far too. Very unusual since I have a preschooler and 1st grader. I did not dump from it..only thing I dump from is sugar free Torani syrups.< /p> Edited January 23, 2014 by gomekast Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
