So I have stated in previous posts how I loathe artificial sweeteners like stevia, Splenda etc. anything that is not "real sugar"

I have been off of sugar since January 1st and yesterday I tried some Splenda in my coffee with vanilla premier Protein ( 60cc=28 cal) and I loved it!!!

In the past, I have strongly disliked the after taste of Splenda etc. but after being sugar free ( almost, only sugars I have are what's in my Protein drinks) I can say that I'm loving the Splenda now!!! Yeah!!!!!!

Welcome to the dark side.... ;) Just kidding.

I am thrilled to hear that you now have more options for having something sweet. Not sure if you do this, but you might also try some of the SF syrups in your coffee. I love hazelnut and found a great one for peppermint mocha (got me through the holidays in style!)

I hate artificial sweetener - always have - always will. I had to stop taking the bariatric Vitamins because they upset my stomach 3 times a day. Protein shakes nauseate me and I burp them back up for hour. I just wish they would make something NOT sweet and I would eat and drink it. Can't stand that sickening sweet after taste - yuck!!

I'm finicky when it comes to artificial sweeteners in various things. With coffee I only like the taste of equal, not sweet-n-low. However, in drinks like tea I can't do equal but have to have sweet-n-low.

When baking I've used Splenda with success but tried other brands (stevia, etc) and hated it. Yeah, I'm weird like that.

I can't stand stevia...ack! But Splenda is good ☺️

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
