Problem with Artificial Sweeteners

[Forsythia 882]

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.

Oh and I forgot the greek yogurt that I add to my shake! Having one right now and it's delicious!

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.
