As I was sitting here eating my favorite thing in the world (pumpkin pudding) I started to wonder if I would be able to have it after getting the RNY?  Here is what the label says about it.
1/2 cup serving size
calories 40
fat 0.5g
cholesterol 0
sodium 0.5 mg
total carbs 9g
fiber 5g
sugar 4g
protein 2g

So if I took 1/2 cup and mixed with 1c FF milk, and one SF/FF jello pudding singles and 1 scoop or van. unjury for a total protein of about 30....  (guessing) would that be allowed? If I only ate half of what it made then the sugar intake would be about 2...
Thoughts????
THanks,

4g sugar isn't bad at all... You have to watch out for sugar-free items as they still have sugar alcohol in it which can be worse.. I personally keep my sugar grams in items to 4g or under. I haven't had sweets yet or straight sugar(which i never will) but most items contain sugar at some level.

For example yogurt..  most have 15g or more  i don't touch those  I eat the Bryers light which has only 5g sugar.

You can also buy the sugar-free Jello puddings mix... It is made with splenda and very good. I eat the cheesecake, banana cream and vanilla  and add protein powder to them.

Good luck!!
