question reguarding fructose???

does any one know if fuctose is a sweetener that is safe for us to consume? I forget! also... i had surgery 10/1/04... and i was wondering the ammount of food that people are able to eat now.... i never want to stretch out my pouch... so i tend to worry constantly! becky - 81 lbs gone forever!!!!!

Nope. It is a naturally occuring sugar from corn products if I remember right. You would most likely dump. As far as stretching your pouch, it will happen. No matter what you do, you will NEVER be able to eat as you did before. The greater fear is not stretching th pouch, but the stoma which would allow food to empty out quickly and you end up hungry after a short amount of time. Just eat until you feel satsified and not full. That is the best clue I can give. Peter
