I used to use Equal in my coffee and the Nutri said not to use it, to use stevia. I can not stand any form of stevia and am really thinking about using equal in my coffee. I have 2 cups, in 1 large cup, first thing in the morning and that's all. Is anyone else out there using equal. I'm 4 months post op and am down 82lbs. I feel like I should be able to have something small like that ;) .

I was told "it's just not good for you" but no real reason why.

Same here and that you body really can't process aspartame.

I use half splenda half sugar in my coffee. and real half and half usually or else fairlife milk with half and half. my NUT wasn't thrilled but we worked out a plan.

i cannot stand stevia - it tastes like chemicals to me - however splenda doesn't, go figure - I use splenda in my tea and yogurt daily. I have been on a looonnggg stall but i highly doubt it is the 2 splenda packs I have a day :)

I was told to use Splenda or Stevia. I use Splenda and I used it long before I had surgery.

      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?
