Most people dump on too much sugar. I personally can't have more then about 8 grams.
Talk to your nutritionist about this.
Good luck!!

I also get sick on anything in the 8 -12 gram range (or at least that is what I tell myself haven't experimented too much). A lot of people can have sugar and don't get sick.  I think it also depends on the food too.  For example 1 Reese Peanut butter cup has 7 grams of sugar I would get sick on that but on the other hand I'm sure some fruit has more than 8 grams of sugar and I will eat that with out problems (fresh fruit not canned).     I personally believe my success with WLS is limiting the sugar in my diet.

I had the Duodenal Switch procedure and I can eat sugar and will not dump off of it as a RNY pateint would. However, I will also absorb about 100% of the sugar so us DS patients tend to go sugar-free or keep it in check. Though we won't pass up a good cookie or slice of pie either! LOL

I cannot have more than 8-10 grams of sugar or sugar alcohols in a 15 min period. 

Anymore and I'm sick as a dog!

My thoughts on sugar is just don't eat it. Having surgery is about changing your lifestyle/eating habits. Eating those things with high fat and sugar got us to need this surgery. Its so easy once you start to make it something more regular. I honestly do not eat anything that has sugar in it unless its a natural sugar like milk and fruit. I watch labels very careful and will not get anything that as 3-5 or more grams of sugar and/or sugar alcohol per serving.
