Tranquility68 3 Posted December 13, 2016 Hi my name is Christine and I am 14 days post surgery from Roux en y gastric bypass surgery and my Dr told me pre surgery that I could flavor my food with Splenda however if u use a lot it can cause uncomfortable symptoms like nausea which I experienced this morning after morning coffee(decaf). Can anyone expand on this subject!!! It would be extremely helpful!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Treadmillwalker 486 Posted December 13, 2016 How much Splenda are you planning to consume in a day? If I'm having fat-free yogurt or a cup of coffee I use one packet of Splenda. If I'm going to bake something I use Swerve. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James Marusek 5,244 Posted December 13, 2016 I had RNY gastric bypass surgery and use Splenda without any problems. After surgery many things can trigger nausea. It might not be the Splenda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
catwoman7 11,220 Posted December 13, 2016 some people do have trouble with various artificial sweeteners....although like the person above said, it could be something else, too. Some things don't sit with you well post-surgery. Especially early out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
