How many grams of sugar is too much sugar?

[Tejee 32]

Hi everyone! I'm currently two weeks post OP after my gastric sleeve surgery and I'm finally getting more Protein in. (Thank God) but most of the protein is coming from nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, soups...which all seem to have at least 5-6 grams of sugar per serving. Like this morning, I slowly had 1/3rd cup of nonfat Greek yogurt, and a 1/4 cup of Rebbl Protein Shake with a cup of skim milk...after adding it all up, it was 28 grams of protein but 18 grams of sugar. Now I'm worried. I really want to do this right and not mess up. How many grams of sugar have you been eating a day?

Thanks!!

I try not to eat anything processed that has more than 10g of sugar, but that’s about the only counting I do. I don’t eat enough fruit to really feel like I’m overdoing the sugar on account of that so- that’s why I only worry about sugar in processed or things that have added sugar like yogurts and Protein supplements.< /p>

I asked my surgeon if there was a limit per item to avoid dumping and he said no because it is different for every person. No idea what the limit per day would be

If it's not added processed sugar then I wouldn't fret. I get 40-50g sugar daily, but it's primarily lactose from fortified (added milk powder) milk drinks I drink in preference to Protein Shakes. Average about 800cals total for all food and drink, 65-75 Protein. I don't knowingly eat any processed sugar and losing on track. The milk was drs orders. Guessing they were concerned about Calcium too.

I can't remember where I read it, but I think it was no more than 14g of sugar per 100g (which is a serving here where I live.) It might have been in my materials, I can't remember, since I haven't read them lately. Most of what I eat has about 8-10g of sugar per serving, though I'm not sure what I'm getting daily.

Somedays I struggle to eat much at all, and I know I'm not getting that much for the most part. I probably should start logging, but I just really hate counting out every single thing that I eat. <.<

My personal rule, 2.5 years out, is no more than 10 g of sugar, unless its at Breakfast, 15g. (All bets are off if the sugar is from fruit - I'm talking about processed sugar.)

My NUTsaid to stay 5-6 grams and under of sugar. The only yogurt I found was Light and fit 80 calorie strawberry it’s 6grams of sugar.

Not sure what the total a day should be. Once I started reading the sugar on the labels I was blown away with how high sugar was on the “healthy” items.

Chobani plain Greek yogurt has 4g sugar, 6g carbs anx 80 calories.

And 15g Protein

Plain just tastes so gross to me...I know it’s better for you but it’s just too bitter.

You can put some sugar-free Syrup in it and then it tastes nom!

You can improve its taste by adding chopped strawberries/blueberries/nuts or SF Syrup of your choice.

My Nutritionist recommends no mare than 15 grams of added sugar per day.

My nut said try to keep under 30g of sugar a day and try to go for products that are 6g of sugar or less
