There is a difference between sugar free and no sugar added. If a product contains natural sugars (such as fruit or milk) it can be marketed as no sugar added. I do consume sugar substitutes such as Splendra or nutrasweet. Some people say you should not. I like Mio (liquid you add to water), Vitamin Water Zero, and a VWZ like product from costco, Ice coffee black with Splendra.

As to foods with "sugars" I would try to only consume foods in their natural state. Plain fruits not something in a bar like Nutragrain bars. I really prefer to eat my veggies raw (though now at restriciton I can't eat baby carrots raw). I don't worry so much about the carbs in plain veggies or fruits.

Other foods that have sugars ie carbs I don't eat like bread, Pasta, rice, crackers.

Crystal light cures the Water only blues. I also started experimenting with hot and iced teas to break the boredom. Just keep trying new flavors until you find the right one.

I like SF Hawaiian Punch. Some of the flavors have 1-2 carbs in a 16.9 oz bottle of Water. However, the BerryLimeade has 0. I like the fruit Punch and the Lemon berry Squeeze.

LOVE LOVE LOVE the SF Hawaiian Punch powder flavors....they sell them near the crystal lights. I have a major sweet tooth and I hate Water. These cure both issues.

Not sure if you have a store near you that would sell them, but lately in addition to the Crystal light, I've also been using this little tiny bottle (about the size of a tic tac container) that you use one squeeze out into a bottle of cold Water and it flavors it. No sugar, very handy to just keep in your pocket or purse. I like the peach mango flavor, the lemonade is good too. They come in I saw maybe 5 or 6 flavors. Got mine at Walmart and they come in a name brand or for a little less, the Walmart great value brand. I think you get 25 or so servings in one little bottle.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
