You want to use as little sugar as possible. You will know if it is way too much After my surgery, our surgeons restricted us to under 10 grams but I got sick on something only 4 grams. Everyone's system is different. Be careful though. You don't want to get used to the sugar to the point where you can tolerate it and control it.

My surgeon reccomends 5 or less grams of sugar per serving.  Fudge seems like a bad choice to me...way too much sugar.  I have "no sugar added" hot cocoa (6gr sugar per serving) when I have that  head hunger that just screams chocolate and it won't go away.  Hey!  And it's a liquid, perfect.  Sometimes you just need to say no, but once you've gotten really sick from sugar you'll think long and hard about doing it again.  With me it was a tall glass of Pink Lemonade...I wasn't using my head and wasn't even thinking about how much sugar was in it.  I was sick for about 2 hours afterward and I was out with friends for a fun day...needless to say it was no fun.  Good luck to you.

Fage- it's a yogurt- Greek yogurt actually - I think it doesn't have too many grams, then- I was worried at 5 grams.....
