I love Log Cabin sugar-free syrup. I have had it on french toast and pan
cakes. Can't eat much ..to filling but it's a great treat for breakfast
sometimes. Brenda RNY 9/26/02 -125lbs.

Why have high-carb breakfast treats? And, aren't you a little concerned
that the sweet syrup (albeit from a sugar-free source) might encourage (or
trigger) cravings for other sweets?

Hey Steve.. lightenup.. the question wasn't should she eat french toast...
besides.. using Atkins bread, you can make a killer high protein french
toast... maybe that's what she's doing. I don't care much for syrup... if
I use it, its about 1/2 tsp of real maple... if I'm going to use it.. I'll
use that on two pieces of french toast! Enjoy.. I sure do when I treat
myself. Good luck!

I have'nt found the Log Cabin one. I use Vermont Sugar Free that I bought
at Cracker Barel. Would love to try it though. Personally I think it is
"Lisa" who should "Lighten Up". Steve has a right to
post an opinion the same as the rest of us do. Why so nasty? I understand
his concern on not eating carbs for breakfast. I can't ether or I'm a
bottomless pit of hunger all day. I like to eat breakfast cerel or other
carbs for supper IF I'm going to eat them. What ever works for us is what
is right. We are all different. As far as the syrup, if you like it, GO FOR
IT! Even pre op I prefered gobs of butter and no syrup. However in an
attempt to cut down on butter I'll have just a thin smear of sugar free
syrup on my pancakes with a small amount of butter. I commend you for going
sugar free. Do notice if this eating carbs for breakfast trigger binges. It
may or may not. Do be careful.

Watch it with the sugar free stuff! My DH decided he wanted pancakes for
supper this past weekend when we went out. He had the sugar free syrup and
had the nastiest gas the rest of the night. I think it might be better just
to have a little of the real stuff than to go through that again!

I don't think it's about allowing, it's more about food habit and lifestyle
change, and I've made a conscious decision that bread is not on the list of
food items that I want to fill my pouch up with anymore. Just the thought
of wet bread makes me sick; I'm amazed that anyone can eat french toast or
pancakes! I can tell you that I have a very, very low tolerance for sugar
of any kind, and have to watch the sugar alcohols in foods, even when they
say sugar-free. So I would take a look at the sugar alcohol level in the
food item before I would consider consuming it.

Just had to pipe in my two cents. On the rare occasion that I eat french
toast..I use...*gasp* regular Mrs. Butterworths. I don't dump...well,
unless I ate the whole contaner so it doesn't bother me. Try the SF syrup
and see if it works for you. Trial and error...basically what this surgery
is about. Everyone is different, so what works for one, may not work for
others. Rebecca 10/03/01 265/140

I was always a Mrs. Butterworths' fan! I had been using Log Cabin and it
was OK (thin and runny), but nothing phenomenal. I recently found one
called Joseph's Lite Sugar-free Maple Syrup. Oh My Gosh! It is thick and
gooey, even when warmed up and if you ask me, it tastes so much like the
*real* thing that I was afraid to eat it at first! I've found it at Whole
Foods in Ann Arbor, MI and also at Cost Plus World Market.
