I'm not looking for a lecture, but I'm wondering about sugar free candy. Not necessarily chocolate, even like fruit chews or something. It's just something I started wanting the last couple days. I'm 5 weeks out from RNY. I'm not talking a lot of it, just a couple pieces of something. Any thoughts?

I have had luck with some sugar free candies. You have to look at the sugar alcohol content and gauge it. I started with sugar free life savers and did ok. Some Russel Stover's sf chocolates are fine, others make me feel yucky. I'd avoid sugar free licorice, gummy bears, and Reese's.

I'm 10 months out and don't have these items at all anymore. 1) because I don't want to really on artificial sweeteners for sweets so I fruit instead, and 2) because they seem to make me constipated and that's a tricky balance at my phase.

Good luck, dear!

I eat the Reese's, russel Stovers without trouble I'm a little over nine weeks out. I just don't eat a lot but it satisfies the sweet tooth [emoji4]

I also eat them particularly at night when the munchies still hits. I don't do chocolate cause that is a trigger for me but like the life savers. I can not have too many as it gives me the trots and gas.

Thanks, that helps!

I like sf Werther's. I suck on one when I cook so I don't taste anything.

Hi, just eat a little bit at a time to see how your body reacts. I also eat sugar free popsicles & sugar free ice cream to satisfy that sweet craving. Good Luck!

Just be careful how much you eat. SF candy can give you diarrhea and bad gas.

I went to target store and I’m still options about sugar free candies what right and wrong for me to eat but I’m on post surgery last year January 9,2017 for one years and 20 1/2 months so i have in my minds to eat candy pro and cons because Halloween is coming soon so i cant eat Halloween candy forever!

I personally have no issues with the sugar alcohol in popsicles, but when its in chocolate not a good comboe. Like everyone posted above just watch out for sugar alcohols, we all react differently, my wife does not do well with more than a piece or two. I might recommend trying new products at home just in case.

Possibly the lamest suggestion ever, but these Calcium chews I have to take for the rest of time are actually pretty tasty. https://www.bariatricadvantage.com/item/calcium_citrate_chewy_bites_500mg I get the fruity flavors so they're sorta like a slightly-chalky starburst. It's like a treat at the end of a meal since I have to have them 3x/day.

Look it up on Google ... It makes my stomach hurt. It may say sugar free but check the sugar alcohol....

I like the Brachs Cinnamon and Butterscotch SF candy. I only have one maybe once a week but i like knowing I can enjoy it once in a while.
