Pre op diet misery, cheat and allergies

[Butterflywarrior 241]

So my sleeve surgery is Monday but my very limited pre op diet of seven days gas been awful. I knew aspartame gave me mugraines so avoided that ingredient but got primere with sucralose and popsicles with the same as well as crystal light pure made with truvia which is stevia and a sugar alcohol

My tummy has been hurting every day. I finally ate a bite of my mom's veggie omelette and was told if my blood sugar went hypo I could eat yogurt so my blood sugar wasn't quite hypo and I had nonfat Greek honey yogurt. Sure felt better but felt so guilty for cheating and like hope I'm not messing up my stomach prep for surgery

Last night after crystal light pure, I threw up once with six episodes all this foamy stuff. Sorry tmi. Number two s been all the runs as well so called weight clinic nurse and they are having me quit all artificial sweeteners as they and I feel they are the culprit and allowing me Protein powder...found one with 25grams of protein and sweet with stevia which is a nature made plant and I can have it in skim milk!!!! Yay

So stomach is already way happier and tge Protein Powder taste good not chalky

Anyone else with similar problems... cheating, malabsorption??etc??

Have you tried the unflavored Protein powder? Try mixing it with broth and see if that works better for you.

Good luck!

Protein powder clumps horribly in HOT liquids. Yucky! Good luck!

yes, I found that out the hard way. Tall about gross, I nearly hurled just to look at it lol.

I saw some Isopure powder that claimed it goes in hot and cold ..I'm dubious!!!

Right now, I'm just blending it in skim milk with a stick blender. Yum the nurse allowed me to have milk bc of all the throwing up etc so I suppose that's nice.
