CheleLynn45 615 Posted October 16, 2014 I will be starting my pre op diet on Monday the 20th with my surgery scheduled for October 27th. I cannot stand anything with artificial sugar in it. It all has a terrible aftertaste to me and I will get a headache and yucky feeling in my stomach afterwards. I have been trying different ones since knowing I would be having this surgery. I am hoping to be able to get thru all the pre op and post op without the sugar free drinks or drops. I can do sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and puddings. I love regular Water and am hoping that will continue after surgery. I was just wondering if anyone else out there has this issue too?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onlybroomegirl 250 Posted October 16, 2014 I'm not sure we are all the same, but I couldn't tolerate them well before surgery. Now it's not a problem. Immediately after surgery they were actually too sweet! Your tastes may change. If they make you feel ill though that may or may not be the case. Good luck!
