question on sugar free?

I was wondering , I know after surgery ,you eat a lot of surgar free items..so you dont dump.. now I was wondering can we drink pure juice and use pure cain surgar from the health food stores..not the regular surgar with all the presouves . does orange juice make people dump?

Sandra, When I had my surgery I didnt like juice. It was to acidic for my new pouch however, after a few weeks I loved it. Didnt have any problems. I buy the 100% natural ones with no added sugar. I tend to stick with things that say no added sugar becouse they dont have all the sugar subs in them. I buy no added sugar apple sauce ect. However its rare that I buy sugar free items. I will make an exception once every few months with that. Its good but I know I have dumping issues when I have it....so for me I use it as a good laxative when Im all blocked up....TMI Natural sugar cain....I would stay away from ....its still sugar. Maybe when u are out a yr and u wanted a little in oatmeal or something u might be ok...but I wouldnt chance it anytime soon. Just my opinion

I dump big time on sugar free stuff, so I try to stay away from it. As for the juice, my NUT told me it was considered liquid sugar, to stay away from it. She said if I had to have some, to dilute it. So, I just never mess with it. I cant do many fruits anyway. only bananas and oranges and some melon, others just dont agree with my pouch. Every body and every doctor is different though. SO make sure you do what is good for you! Its a individual journey! Blessings betsy

I could have juice, but don't like it. It's just too sweet to me. I prefer plain water, anymore. Not even the Crystal Light. I don't know about the cane sugar. I wouldn't try it, it's still empty calories. Linda Vicory
