Yes but it's always been that way for me. Note I can't stand the taste of social sweeteners after surgery

I am 5 days post op and I am sooooo gassy! The nurse said I can take gas x chewables and I have but they aren't helping much. I have always had issues with aspartame -I will need to read the labels on what I have bought-I bet that is an ingredient and part of the problem.

Check to see if your sugar free products contain sugar alcohols. Those are notorious for causing gas, bloating and diarrhea.

I cannot stand artificial sweeteners at all. I drink plain Water instead.

I actually think they taste almost over sweetened. I don't like the taste of anything that is too sweet, it all tastes weird to me. I simply stay away.

      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.
