Thank you ripburn! I’ve had it a few times now and it’s not bad- a bit minty-ish but still pretty dang good! Thanks!

Thank you so much!!! I actually just bought some a week ago and made a chocolate flourless cake with it- I would have sworn it was real sugar!! So tasty! Incredible product and did not cause any dumping or problems! (I only had a teeny weeny slice). I agree with the whey protein too- I tried some flavored and I just can’t do the artificial sweeteners- even the stevia causes issue! Thank you for taking the time to write- I really appreciate it!

Hi Allen! Did the Doctors say why they would suggest one over the other and/or is there a reason you are leaning towards one over the other? I came on here bc my husband is researching the SADI as his BMI is at around 40- Im actually a month out from having the RNY an I’m super happy with it so far - my BMI was right above 35 and I’m down about 20lbs so far in that first month. I don’t think it’s like the SADI in the sense that I would be able to eat whatever I want without consequence of putting on weight. If I can help compare and contrast with the other lovely people on here let me know! Good luck with whichever way you decide to go!!

Thank you all so much- you’ve given me hope that I have some options to try!!

Thanks so much!! Do have any particular brand recommendations? My nutritionist did just suggest the same thing. I just wish my taste buds weren’t so darn picky 😞.

Hello! I am new to this website and I would love some advice! I am hoping to be having surgery in November or December this year. I unfortunately am a picky eater (and drinker!) and am not a fan of the artificial sweeteners and stevia. I have tried a bunch of protein powders and drinks, and I am struggling to find one that I can drink! 😥 I LOVE Bocha Sweet and don't mind erythritol and Lakanto Monk Fruit seems to be just fine! I am REALLY struggling to find protein powders and drinks that I can use following surgery to get through the initial post op period. Does anyone have any recommendations, either for store bought ideas or recipes that I can use with the zero calorie sweeteners I do like? Thank you all so much in advance for your ideas and help! 😊

Hello! I am sorry I don't have anything to contribute to the question but I do have another question: My husband is hoping to get the SADI- he is just starting the process whereas I am a few months out from hopefully getting the Roux En-Y. Do you mind me asking what the criteria were for you both to be able to get the SADI? They just started doing the surgery at our hospital and it is possible my husband is just below the BMI criteria they have set for the SADI here. If that is too personal a question, please forgive me! This is my first time on the forum. Congratulations on the surgery Dan Mand I hope it all goes well for you!! Jmuldune your story is amazing- congratulations!!!
