After about a year post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery your body changes again. Your intestines realize that the stomach is no longer processing fats and sugars and steps up to the plate and picks up that function. I am 3 1/2 years post-op RNY and I discussed my strategy in the Maintenance phase and the use of artificial sweeteners in the following article. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf

I've not tried this, but heard of people buying a sugar free cake mix and mixing it with 12 oz diet soda. Only these 2 ingredients. Bake as muffins or muffin tops or as a cake according to time and temp on the box. When cool top with sugar free frosting or Cool Whip. I have not tried this yet.

So I'm wondering does anybody enjoy the sugar free sweets or does it cause dumping? I know everyone is different but I just want to know if this will be tolerable one day?

I was wondering the same thing ... I can't imagine life never have something sweet ever again ... hoping to be able to maybe have sure free/ Fat free options that are out there at some point after I get the surgery

I do the sugar free sweets as an occasional treat! [emoji1327] i found them especially helpful at Christmas when I had to watch everyone enjoying Desserts and Cookies. During that time, I tried Sugar Free Chocolate chip cookies and sugar free Reese's cups. I loved both and they tasted like the real thing, so I didn't feel deprived during the holidays. I also found my local frozen yogurt shop has sugar free froyo, and I have enjoyed a little of that on two special occasions.

4 months out, I make cakes and sweets for a living so I normally have a bite to taste and make sure all is well. The sugar doesn't bother me at all and a bite satisfies my craving (not like before where I would have a whole slice or cupcake ). I never go near sugar free foods because I try to avoid chemicals and processed foods from a health perspective http://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/artificial-sweeteners-sugar-free-but-at-what-cost-201207165030 . What i have noticed is that a good night's sleep and eating a small meal every 2-3 hours stops me from craving sweets or chips or other unhealthy Snacks the way I used to pre-surgery. The days when i dont sleep well i crave chocolate and chips. The days where i forget to eat because I'm too busy, i will suddenly crash and want chocolate. As long as i pay attention to my sleep and eating habits, im much more in control of any bad cravings and I will actually go without sweets for a while (this was impossible pre-surgery). Anyway, good luck with whatever you decide to do, wish you all the best :-)

      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!!
