Sugar Free Candy......How often and when?

There is a reason I became overweight.  I am a week post-op (tomorrow) and I am wondering when I can have a SF Dove Chocolate?   I wish I wasn't wondering this, but I am.  It's a good thing I go to see my Cognative Behavioral Therapy guy this week!   I know it's a head hunger thing and the calories are empty........... Let me know you thoughts!

Not sure WHEN you can have it......but look at the label....it's got 17g of sugar alcohol in it.  Not a good thing.  By the way...careful of ANY sugar free chocolate because it has a laxative effect.  A guy I work with ate a whole bag of sugar free resees pb cups and had to go home after a half hour.  hehe By the way, how was your post-op?

Hi Lisa Joy! How about 'never'?  I'm willing to bet that you've read posts from folks who wish they had NEVER tested their pouches with a particular food item.  Some dumped, some did okay, all wish they had never tempted fate or their pouch!  NOW--in this awesome HONEYMOON period--is the time to develop your self-control in those areas where you'd otherwise be weak. YOU CAN DO IT!! (Fight the MONSTER, that is!) (((HUG))) **SUE**

No no no honey...... its time to beat down the old patterns!! Noooooooooooooooooooo please dont do it.... I love you !!!

Hi Lisajoy, Have some sf hot chocolate or pudding to curb the chocolate craving.  You don't want to go the other route.......we've been on that road and know where that leads us! Bonnie

Waayyyy too early woman! I can't do sugar free candy at all!  Far too many sugar alcohols for me!

Oh my!  It's good I have you all to check in with.  I thought it was totally okay to have it.... Oh no!   I'm sure glad I know now.    Since it's SF, I thought it was fine....boy, I guess I have a lot to learn!    Thanks for the responses! Lisa Joy   

No candy - period!!

Heeheehee Lisa......I told ya!

I'm so lucky to have older sisters on this board!  That was good Debs!!!!
