Oh, sugar was always my best friend! LOL It's the substitute stuff I can't take. Like the sugar-free pops and pudding and jello and crystal lite. And all the shakes have some type of substitute sucrose thing. All those I can't drink/eat. Have a"reaction" I suppose you could say. Thank you so much for your post.

I'm worried about sugar subs, all types because I have a problem having any of them. I can't honestly say I am allergic, but I do have a reaction to them. Taste explodes in my mouth, aftertaste, and feel as if my throat is closing (with some of them). Am looking for shakes that don't have sucrose type sweeteners. Also looking for substitutes for the sugarfree sweetened pops and snack items. I know I am limiting myself horribly with this. I am also hoping that after surg, or maybe the pre surg liquid diet, will get me accustomed to it. any tips will be soooo welcome. Thanks!

I am from Long Island, NY. Haven't seen anyone from here yet... Dr Gohil out of NSU Hospital in Syosset, NY. They have a beautiful bariatric facility there. Pre surg still. Working on it.
