too sweet! I cannot believe it! Not that I had a huge sweet tooth or anything, but I never minded sweets before, and now, even the sugar free stuff is just to much! Thank goodness I can have cream based soups, strained of course. I would not be able to tolerate this phase 2 diet without it!

Oh, and for those of you in phase 2, or just looking for more protein, adding dry milk to the protein shakes. It is just a boost!

    I am 2 years out and I am telling you, I am the same way. I can't even drink regular orange juice. The only one I can tolerate is the Trop 50. I can't IMAGINE if I drank soda, with all that sugar. I took a sip of my son's over the weekend and GAG! :sick: as long as you keep with a reduced sugar intake, it changes your taste for regular stuff. Which I am glad! :bigsmile:

    Good for you ladies! I wish that was my result as well. I still crave sweets and have no problem ingesting them. I now have to trust myself! lol

    I've never been a sweets person either. It was more of the starches that I ate all the time. That's been the hardest part. I haven't touch soda though since before surgery and I don't crave it. So far, it's been really good.

    I am exactly the same way. The worse part is though yogurt is sweet and its a good source of protein, but I cant quite take it. I do hope that part changes.

    For me too!

    For the one with problem with yogurt, try getting plain and flavoring yourself.

    That was one of the first things I noticed after surgery. Everything was too sweet. I couldnt even stand the crystal light they brought me in the hospital to drink...I had to dilute it half with water. Eventually that sort of gets a little better. I still dont like very sweet things, but it doesnt absolutely turn my stomach anymore. I found it odd how my tastes completely changed. Things that I used to love dont taste good to me anymore and I crave things that I did not care for at all before surgery.

    I am 2 weeks out, not having much of an issue with the sweets, but that's just me. I am praying that my surgery will have turned me off carbs (rice, pasta, bread etc) so far I havent had a craving which is good. I will say, before surgery I liked liverwurst, but post op, I LOVE IT. Nice and mushy with a pretty good source of protein...
