I feel your pain. Lol. I use my Vitamins and calcium chews to feed my sweet tooth. Good luck

I was just going to respond with same info. The sugar free calcium chews and Fiber gummies are so low in cals, you can have a few extra. And they make them in so many different flavors. My personal favorite is caramel, but chocolate and strawberry are also good. Just don't eat too many a day or you will end up with a different, let us say less desirable, issue. Good luck.

WHATEVER YOU DO.......do NOT eat anything with MALTITOL (sugar substitute). Unless you enjoy pooping your pants about 30 minutes later. OH. MY. GOSH.... Horrific. Then again a few minutes later, and then the rest of the night....

Are the Fiber gummies good if you aren't having a daily BM? I go 4 days before I have one. What is the name of them? Weirdly, before the surgery, I had a huge sweet tooth & I was a binge eater. I am 6 weeks post op & have not had a single desire for anything sweet. I am also NEVER hungry! It is like a switch got turned off. Has anyone else experienced this?

The fiber gummies I take are from Vitafusion and called Fiber well. They help, but not nearly as effective as MOM, Miralax or Smooth Move tea.

I've bought bags and bags of candy, but haven't torn into one yet. Not that I haven't thought of it:). Can't wait to pass them out tomorrow and get them out of the house.

Some people are really sensitive to the sugar alcohols in sugar free products. I love Life Savers sugar free wild cherry flavor. They are primarily isomalt which doesn't bother me. I also like the Werther's sugar free hard candies.

I try to use these only as a last resort. They aren't calorie free! But, they are obviously way better than my beloved Reese's PB cups!

I'm feeling the same way as you shewolf. Of course, I'm less than a week post-op so things will probably change, but right now even though I used to have a huge sweet tooth, the Isopure Protein drinks are now too sweet for me, and I even have to Water down crystal lite because it's now too strong/sweet. And absolutely zero hunger. I have to force myself to stay on schedule with my fluids.

Now I'm just waiting for the trick-or-treaters tomorrow to take all my candy because just the mere thought of eating even one of those is making me nauseous... in past years I could have finished off a bag by myself! :ph34r:

      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? 🤷‍♀️
