When in doubt contact your dietician.
1 medium apple - sugars 19 carbs 25. Even if you made it on your own. Apples have sugars and carbs.
Feel free to ignore the following is it does not apply to your program or food stage. I used dannon light n fit greek yogurt. 7 sugars 9 carbs with the added bonus of 12 grams Protein.

I did unsweetened applesauce but stirred in some Splenda. Helped me swallow my crushed pills when I couldn’t tolerate them in Water.

How much sugar is in a tablespoon, and does that fit within your program's guidelines? Divide the amount of sugar in a serving by how many tablespoons are in that serving.

Every program is different, so my advice doesn't supersede your doctor's/nutritionist's, but my program actually encouraged unsweetened applesauce as an option early on (either in liquids or puree, I don't remember offhand).

I don't think so, because in unsweetened applesauce, the sugar is naturally occurring in the apples.

I know it’s different for everyone in recovery time.. what is the typical recovery time for someone getting the VSG? Or RNY?
I’m starting a new job and I’m nervous I’ll lose my job later on once I go for surgery.. The employer does know that I have a pending surgery date (just don’t have an exact date yet) and is aware of all the necessary appointments need to be kept. When she asked how long is the recovery time .. I didn’t know what to say 🤷‍♀️

Hi I am a month out haven’t loss any weight I went from 259 on surgery date to 245 a week later and since week two I’ve been at 240-241/242 I don’t know if I am doing something wrong sometimes I can see that I am losing inches and sometimes I can’t any suggestions I’m 27 and 5’7

Sorry for your struggle, hang in there. Your body will take a break from losing after rapid weight loss to heal and adjust - be patient - during this time it is likely inches will fall off, so take measurements. You are doing fine weight wise and your team will help you through these adjustments. You can do it.

I've already posted in the before and after thread. I thought I do a separate thread. Today is my first surgiversary! I've been in a 3 month stall. With RNY, I accomplished my loss without any strenuous exercise (due to a heart condition). I'm 25lbs away from goal weight and I feel great!

Get a snow cone machine it will help to keep the ice in your mouth longer. I found out it will help

And you definitely aren't a Debbie downer. We all have our days. It's good to vent and get things out so we can help one another and offer support and encouragement to get through.

I've been struggling with liquids because it hurts and I can't catch my breath even when sipping. So just while ago my girlfriend sees me crying and I said I can't do this anymore. And she said won't you try using a spoon like you did with your Isopure drink. So I tried it and it definitely helps. Because me holding a cup up to my mouth doesn't work well with me. So spoon it is....

Well, that was one hell of a solution. I would have never thought that.

You can order about 100 of them on Amazon for less than $5 if you can’t get them from the pharmacy. The hospital gave me three huge stacks of them. I used them for my crushed medication as well.

If you had any of those little baby medicine cups that might work too. Next time you go to your pharmacy ask if you can have some, they usually have them for kids cough syrups and they probably wouldn't charge for them as a courtesy to you, the customer.
