I just had surgery on 1/2/18 and don’t have my post surgery follow up until Friday. I will certainly ask this question at that time, but I am just wondering whether veteran sleevers have ever been given a definitive maximum amount of sugar grams they can have per day. I know that early on it is really preferred to use a sugar substitute and I am following that rule (i.e., using Splenda in hot tea, etc.), but I want to be cognizant of what I’m putting into my (new and improved) body in the future. Thank you.

My nutritionist told me to limit my meals to 10g of sugar or less I am 9 months out and for my total daily sugar count using the MyFitnessPal app on my phone keeps track of the sugar each day and I usually get around 25-30g each day of sugars it’s just how I do my meals and I try to get those early on in my day so no to effect me later on in the day as a type 2 diabetic.

My program says to keep meals at 8g or less. The new nutrition labels coming out by April will show added sugar, when that happens they want us to keep added sugar under 4.
