Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 I found the Sugar free stuff at Wal-Mart, went to grab it, and my fiancee looked at the label. It may be " sugar " free... but each cookie has over 6 grams of alcohol sugars, which my Doc told me are almost as bad as real sugar, and can cause some pretty bad plumbing problems.

Guest guest Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Mike - I found mine at Wal-Mart.Just saw chocolate chip there.I think W found sugar cookie.In my Sunday paper there were coupons for $1.00 off 2 packages.Hope that helps. I made them, I they were pretty good seeing we don't get treats often.The chipc were a little bitter but still good & the cookies were a bit tougher than I remember but it was worth it. Good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 The thing with sugar alcohols is that they can cause a " laxative effect " in anyone, WLS or not. I read a post about a poor woman who discovered SF chocolate candy and ate a whole bag before church. That was about 60 g of the sugar alcohols. She let out really nasty gas and pooped her pants in church and was too embarassed to ever want to go back. I don't know how one cookie would be or if there is a difference pre and post op. Pre-op, I would eat one or two of the Murray's SF cookies with no problems. They came in the flavors like Keeblers (shortbread, choco covered grahams, and chocolate mint) and were awesome. I haven't tried them since. There is a woman in our support group that eats them routinely. You can also find recipes for splenda flavored deserts. Look at low carb sites and many will also have lower carb substitutes for the flour. Many use soy flour, almond flour, or other things. There is even a low carb " bisquik " substitute that I tried pre-op that is great for baking. in MI RNY 12/04/06 345/335/322/145 (It's not moving!!!) > > I found the Sugar free stuff at Wal-Mart, went to grab it, and my fiancee > looked at the label.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well as a newbie (and not having had my surgery yet) and with a terrible, terrible sweet tooth, I hope the first time I eat sugar I hope I hurt like the dickens (just for a little while) so I'll get rid of that nasty sweet tooth besides the pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Sugar alcohols don't necessarily make you dump. They cause a " laxative effect " in many people, WLS or not. This is also dependent on how much you eat. I don't know if WLS folks are more sensitive or not but I've read hilarious stories on low carber boards from people who discovered SF candy and went a little overboard the first time they ate them. Most of the Stovers, Weight Watchers, Hershey's, and other brand SF chocolates use the sugar alcohols. As a pre-op, I'd eat a piece or two without incidence but haven't had any since surgery. in MI > > OOOOOHHHHH........Not good.......Not worth a bunch of dumping.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I was hoping for the same thing but...like some, I do not dump when I eat sugar... I really have to watch and just pray that next time I have some type of sugar that my pouch will disagree to deter me from making the same mistake twice. --- Ostrom karenostrom@...> wrote: > Well as a newbie (and not having had my surgery yet) > and with a terrible, terrible sweet tooth, I hope > the first time I eat sugar I hope I hurt like the > dickens (just for a little while) so I'll get rid of > that nasty sweet tooth besides the pounds > > [Non-text portions of this message have been > removed] > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ Any questions?
