How much sugar should you be able to take in?

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.

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...

      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.
