Gastric Bypass Surgery Support Group
Gastric bypass (GBP) is any of a group of similar operative procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which arises from severe accumulation of excess weight in the form of fatty tissue, and the health problems ("co-morbidities") which result. If you are considering gastric bypass or have had it, join the community where we share our experiences and find support.
Ok so I have debated about putting this question out there but hey if you can't ask your support group who can you ask, RIGHT???
I cannot do sugar at all! It hits my stomach and says "Not in here" and comes right back up. (Not that I have intentionally eaten it, but apparently my m-in-law puts sugar in everything and I have found out the hard way to ask in advance).
BUT I can eat a small piece of sugar free candy and it is fine. It takes care of that sweet craving when fruit will not and although most serving sizes say 3 pieces--1 is totally enough. Am I going to GBP hell if I eat it????

Our nutritionist said you can have what you want just use moderation and keep your diet balanced. I would say one piece of candy once in a while is moderation and control.
