uh I think not.... but if it makes you sick, you probably won't try it again. All the sugar free products usually have sugar alcohols that act like sugar in your system........ I won't even try that and it's not low in calories either.. Now the question is.... could you just eat one..... I probably couldn't ....at least before surgery. :)

Sugar alcohol can act like a laxative... so do this in moderation. :-)

Beautiful is probably correct about the 'can you eat just one?' Question. This is key. If you can you're clearly not going to hurt yourself, but for most of us it's a very slippery slope. I had a tough day with off-PLAN FOODS yesterday. Today I'm back on plan and I feel 1000% better mentally and physically.

Sorbitol (whats in most sf candies, Atkins bars and alot of sf items) tears up my tummy. I'll spend a few hours with stomach cramps/diarrhea. Not worth it to me.

Thank God my sleeve allows me to eat just 1 of anything. My husband is amazed when I can stop at 1 bite of ice cream, 1 cookie, 1 of anything. So I'd probly eat 1 of the REAL ones and call it a day.

Not saying thats for everyone, cuz obviously it's not. Some people can't eat something or it'll get em started. If thats u, I suggest u run and run fast...

If your new to this new way of life then it is probably not a good idea to go there. If you are a long way out and have learned what your triggers are and your sliders are. Then you could have a small treat now and then. If it could send you off the program in the attempt. I would say..Don't do it!

I am a believer that we need everything in our diets. But in moderation and balance. I cannot eat some things because of bad reactions. You will learn what your reactions are. Take it slow and be true to yourself. Remember why you are doing this and what you want to accomplish..... Keep that in mind when you decide to try these new things..okay! :)

I wanted to know is it alright to have a sugar free Reese's cup miniature?

My second out of three, dietitians told me there are no, no no 's, just be smart. I have Godiva dark chocolate almond bark in my house. One piece of candy did not make us fat, the whole candy store made me huge. I know I don't do well getting rid of my triggers. bread is #1 so I have it in restaurants only. Good luck. If you look at candy with sugar is sometimes less carbs.

Are you afraid it could be a trigger for you? Is it really worth it?

I have a few Protein bars on hand, but they are not a daily staple in my plan. Usually I will take one with me for the return trip home from 2 distant specialists that see on a regular basis. My favorites (Rocky Road and Lemon Merange Protein bars) come from Bariatric Choice's website. They have many flavors. BariatricChoice.com

From that same website, I also bought high protein chips and pretzles. My favorite chips are the pizza and BBQ flavors. They shipped quickly. But like I said I don't eat one every day. Hope this helps in some way.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
