artificial sweetners



Recommended Posts

Ive come to realize that the only artificial sweetner I like is Sweet n Low. Everything else has a bolder aftertaste thats yucky to me, especially Splenda. I was just wondering which one you all prefer??

The only kind i dislike, is Stevia. For some reason it is horrible, most others I can handle, even agava or whatever it is called.

If you mean agave, it's not considered artificial. It is similar to maple Syrup in how it's produced, it just comes from the agave cactus, not a tree :) it supposedly has a lower glycemic index than cane sugar.

I hate stevia. I'm not sure how anyone is able to ingest that stuff. Ugggghhh

:D

Stevia is by far the worst lol... Truvia is quite nasty as well.

I actually like Stevia---but it's common knowledge that I'm a weirdo. :D

I prefer Ideal and, to me, tastes just like sugar. Unfortunately, restaurants don't carry it and it's not always easy to find so I end up mixing Sweet and Low and Equal. I *HATE* Splenda and Stevia has a funky aftertaste.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
