Sugar Alcohols

The school where I work is having graduation today so it will be a 14 - 15 hour day for me. So I picked up a South Beach meal replacement bar for dinner. Is 19g of sugar alcohols alot for me at 3 months post op? Or in general? I am just getting into things with sugar alcohols and I am not sure how to look at the numbers. I am assuming that we do not judge it the same way as we would regular sugar grams but there has to be such thing as too much. Thanks guys!!

It could be a lot for your first time up. Sugar alcohols tend to make some have to make some run for the bathroom. Might want to test that at home first. Have a great day. Maggie

Atkins makes a protein bar that has 15 grams of protein, low fat, and only 3 grams of sugar alcohol. I have issues with too much sugar alcohol it gives me....(gas) whisper whisper whisper And if I have too much of it a wicked stomach ache! The atkins bar is yummy has little tiny chocolate chips on top and is kinda like a rice krispie bar. South beach has a tv dinner that I love! sesame chicken lots of protein little fat and it tastes great!

Thanks guys for your help! The meal bar worked out fine, mostly b/c I can only eat like 1/4 of it. lol I don't know what made me think I could eat this whole thing. I am still nibbling on it for breakfast and plenty is left over. At least now I have found something I can carry in my purse for food emergencies. Thanks again!
