I hate sugar free drinks. I cant stand the chemical taste of artificial sugar. Plus I think it is horrible for our health. I am working to deal with my sugar issues but just wondering during the early soft food stage did anyone eat regular Jello, pudding, freeze pops ???

Just wondering

I know about stevia and the other natural sugar substitutes

I had my band on the 3rd of June and I really haven't done "Sugar Free" items such as jello, shakes ect. I can't stand the taste of them, and feel like eating the natural stuff in small quanties is much better I do opt for low sugar items, there are plenty of great products out there that are lower in sugar. I have lost 13 pounds since I was banded, I didn't have a liquid diet before surgery so all weight loss has been since the surgery. I think I am on track. Just do what you feel, I do like stevia and/truvia if I am craving something sweet.. Hope this helps!!
