Well they have diet coke that is made with splenda. I have never had it personally but it does not have aspartame in it.

I thought carbonated beverages were a big no no being sleeved as it expands your stomach. I quit drinking diet beverages last Christmas trying to cut out artificial sweeteners. I do drink a lot of unsweetened ice tea. If you need sweetener use truvia.

I am being resleeved for a neofundus....I am actually try to do diet teas without aspartame or caffiene, not an easy thing to find, maybe i can brew some Decaf and add sweetener...what is suppose to be the safest sweetener at the current? I am not looking for carbantion, although they told me and others who post it does not affect the sleeve...Not sure what to believe anymore.... :wacko:

yeah i understand your pain! I was addicted to Diet Dr Pepper! Havent had one in over a year now and happy about that but still miss it from time to time.

I cant do plain Water either unless it is icy icy cold and only on occasion. I do alot of mio and disani drops in my Water but I am not sure what type of sweetner is in them.

I keep lemons around the house and make my own ice cold lemonade with whatever sweetener I have around the house (except for sugar).

I also make iced tea.

Hope this helps! I feel your pain!!!

I've had carbonated drinks lately...I was sleeved 4/29. It's not so much it stretching the sleeve, it's VERY uncomfortable, bordering on extremely painful. With that said, it'd be smarter to make your own drinks.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
