ElyQuint 446 Posted August 8, 2013 Hi all: sleeved on 7.29.13 and still on liquids. I was feeling really horrible and having a hell of a time getting my liquida and Protein in. Finally it hit me how much artificial sweetener i was consuming!i made the switch from vitaman Water zero to unsweetened iced tea and feel like a whole new person. I also cannot stand all of the sweetness any longer. Anybody else? 2 Museum-Mama and Eager12 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LifetimeLoser 208 Posted August 8, 2013 i think it is two fold. The surgery sometimes affects the sweet factor, but also just decreasing the amount of sweetness affects the sweet factor. I think eliminating anything artificial is always in a good direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElyQuint 446 Posted August 8, 2013 I usually avoid the artificials but i gave in in favor of the Protein and nutrients. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSGayle 33 Posted August 8, 2013 I drank the chocolate premier (which I thought was less sweet than a lot of other Protein drinks) but I was getting tired of them until I started adding a Tablespoon of Instant Decaf coffee to them...WOW...I actually enjoy drinking them now I am out 8 weeks or so and still drink one everyday just to be sure I get enough protein! 1 gamergirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are my hero! I never even thought to do that. The bitterness would certainly reduce that sweetness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
