Problem with Artificial Sweeteners



Recommended Posts

Is your pre-op diet liquid only or can you have meat/dairy? If so, take advantage of that and get yourself a whole rotisserie chicken and a bunch of Greek yogurt. My pre-op diet was just low carb/high Protein. I did suck down a lot of shakes, but I also ate a lot of meat/dairy because I was allowed it.

I know you said you hate the taste of stevia, and I thought that I did also. However, I tried a brand of all natural Protein powder called About Time yesterday and it was delicious. Comes in lots of flavors, I tried the Peanut Butter mixed w skim milk and it was amazing. You can get single packets on their website of most of the flavors. Good luck!

I agree! I ordered 4 of their sample packets: Birthday Cake (blech!), strawberry (good), vanilla (okay) and banana (really tasty). The best part was that the balance of Stevia was perfect and I didn't need to add anything else. I buy mine off of Amazon because it's much less than buying directly from SDC.

Thanks! I just ordered some of the samples, too. :)

My nutritionist said that it is fine to drink double milk instead of Protein Shakes. She said to make double milk by adding powdered milk to skim milk.

      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.
