46w4kds 177 Posted January 29, 2018 Splenda is the only sweetner i use, my favorite is the sugar blend! The best tasting sugar substitute i have found hands down. I was sleeved august 29th and started using it almost immediately. Goodluck on your journeys:0) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blizair09 3,250 Posted January 29, 2018 I stayed away from Splenda forever post-op. But, I brought it back several months ago (in some decent quantity, too), and it has caused absolutely no problem at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kakatlady612 1,053 Posted January 29, 2018 Splenda is sucralose, a sugar alcohol, I would make sure my doctor is okay with it, but I usually err on the side of safety.Sent from my VS880PP using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted January 29, 2018 Splenda is encouraged by my group. Nearly all the Protein Shakes have sucralose in them including Premier Protein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kitty1392 14 Posted January 29, 2018 My program was fine with Splenda and my stomach was cool with it too. When I was in the hospital my liquid meal tray they brought me included a mug of hot tea with some Splenda packets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JerseyJules 862 Posted January 30, 2018 I switched from splenda and went to Stevia. Splenda has so many adverse side effect and can cause cancer and weight gain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Myaiku_Kuraitani 245 Posted January 30, 2018 You can, but most people get Stevia or something like it. I get Stevia or the other thing that sounds like Stevia but actually tastes better.
