Am I the only one who absolutely can't stand the taste of that fake sugar?
Have tried it again and again and just can't make myself like it or any products I taste with that stuff in it.

Try Stevia. It is better than Splenda and it's natural. I can't stand Splenda..it's,a chemical and it's nasty.

I dunno, can I trust a public bathroom destroyer?

I kid.. I'll give it a try, I actually saw it in a certain area of the store with a number of other substitutes. I think it was the baking aisle of all things.

Lol. Just make sure you get real stevia and not the blend or truvia.

Also, you can find these 2 movies on Netflix. They are great and you will find them an immense help in looking at food differently. HUNGRY FOR CHANGE & food MATTERS.
I promise you will enjoy them. Watch Hungry for Change first. :)


Also "Super Size me" I think it's called. It turns you off mcDonalds

Anejo for Mexican food in Calgary - they make the guacamole right at your table and it's absolutely the best! That'll be my treat once in a while after my surgery :-) As you probably gathered, I'm in Calgary too. My VSG won't be for another 8-11 months...

i used to be just like you... then I got type 2 and had no choice. I got used to it after a few months and now I use it in anything I would have used sugar in. Some things I have just gotten used to eating unsweetned, ice tea is one.

Now that I have my surgery date I have been struggling with thoughts of should I have one last taste of some things that I know need to be off the menu.

I can sympathize with you.

I had two months of that thinking. I was not kind to January and February, let me tell you. But I've been doing my low carb for two and a half weeks and lost fifteen pounds...then those delicious little squares happened to me. I'm ashamed. But, tomorrow's a new day and I'll get back on track. I think my calories and carbs have been way too low anyway, so this may not have been such a bad thing. It's good to confuse the body every now and then..keep it guessing.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
