Butterflywarrior 241 Posted October 21, 2016 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??

blizair09 3,250 Posted October 22, 2016 Have you tried the unflavored Protein powder? Try mixing it with broth and see if that works better for you. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.
