Question:
How much sugar is too much?

I am able to drink all kinds of juice (orange, grape,...etc), as long as it is cut with water/ice. Am I drinking too much sugar and will that slow down weight loss?    — kle713 (posted on July 4, 2001)

How many g of sugar do you think you're taking in every day? Personally, I save a bit of real juice for a treat. I've seen too many surgeries destroyed by sugar, so I am a DEEP respecter of its power to undo what I have done. But then, maybe I obsess. I just know I so much prefer lungs that work over lungs that don't.

I am only six months post op but I avoid only refined sugars and drink no juice - except V8. I have been losing fine.

Well, I'm 3.5 months post-op(lap DS), and I have always hated the taste of diet drinks, so I drank juice every day until last month when I found the best tasing diet drink, Arizona Diet Green Tea Iced Tea with Ginseng. I have lost 65 lbs, so far & really dont think drinking the juice made that big of a difference, but each of us is different!
