RickM 1,752 Posted July 21, 2016 As little as possible, most particularly that which has been added (as opposed to naturally occurring in a particular food.) Some are effectively allergic to it (diabetics and the insulin resistant) and should more aggressively avoid it than others, but given that most have gotten to the point of needing WLS these days by the excessive amount of sugar and sugar analogs (like highly processed flours, etc.) in their diet, we should all be working to minimize them.

justhere4theshow 462 Posted July 21, 2016 I have to avoid sugar like the plague...it does awful things to me! I can't stress enough to anyone trying to lose weight: Sugar is only going to cause you heartache. It causes inflammation and really messes up weight loss. Try to keep it very limited...
