OMG I'm dumping!!!

OMG I'm dumping for the first time. I mean true blue, full out dumping. I ate a power protien bar. It must be the sugar alcohols in it. Within 5 minutes of me taking that last bite I have now broke out in a sweat, my head is spinning, and I generally would like to be shot right now. Sugar alcohols

Wow that sucks, Heather. I hope you feel better soon! *hugs*

How much sugar, carbs and sugar alcohols in that bar? Feel better!!! Kathy

I'm ashamed to admit it....... Actually, I picked it up and saw two carbs and thought, "Great, this will really up my protein intake for the day. After I ate it, I saw that actually, it read two NET IMPACT carbs (gosh if that isn't a bunch of hooey)! Dietary Fiber - 1g Sugars - 1g Sugar Alcohols - 27g OK Kathy, let me have it......Goodness knows I need a kick in the arse for that choice! Heather (who is apparently unable to turn something over and read the label)

No kicks in the arse Heather! Nope! Technically 2 grams of net carbs isn't a bad choice. But WOW, 27 grams of sugar alcohols is alot!!! No wonder you dumped. As a substitute, you might want to try Power Crunch bars. They have 15 grams of whey protein and are sweetened with splenda. Don't think there is any sugar alcohols. Much safer! I have found in the past (pre WLS) that I don't seem to lose as well if I have things that have sugar alcohols so I have tended to avoid protein bars in general. We have some of the Power Crunch bars at home but I rarely use them. I prefer my shakes. You can come out from under the chair. No lectures. No scolding. No arse kicking. Just a hug! Kathy

Awww Kathy, you're the bestest WLS twin anyone could have! Hugs back at cha'! Heather 267/169/155

Twin...but you are a pound lighter than I've been. So much for twins. Just being goofy... Kathy
