Sugar Free Candy



Recommended Posts

I mean this in the very sweetest way possible...throw that stuff out! Like seriously, donate it to someone, or throw it the eff away! If you truly can't control your portion. If you can control your portion and it doesn't send you praying the porcelain god, or make others dive for their gas masks, and you use them once in a blue moon as a treat, I have to believe they are a better alternative than the real stuff.

As someone else explained, and I truly believe this, IMHO the dose makes the poison. 1 piece which is usually 1/4 to 1/3 of a serving is pretty low-ish on the crap-o-meter--but 1/3 or 1/2 of a bag, not so much. Right?

I've never really understood sugar free candy for people that aren't diabetic. It pretty much has the same empty calories (or just slightly less) as sugared candy plus it has those cough*** unfortunate ***cough side effects.

Yep. That will do it. Gum is a great option

Careful with gum! It can cause extra painful gas (increased air from chewing) in our small pouches!

Please follow the serving size on sugar free hard candies. One ingredient causes explosive diarrhea if you choose to eat more than the recommended serving.

This!! When I was pre-op I splurged and had sugar free reese's cups! It was awful. I ate way too many and ended up so sick.

      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.
