Thank you.

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)

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.

Splenda was recommended by my Dr. perfectly safe, been using for over 5 months.

Splenda is sucralose, a sugar alcohol

sucralose is not a sugar alcohol.

sugar alcohols include xylitol, erythritol, etc. and they are, in my opinion, a much better choice than Splenda.

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.

I switched from splenda and went to Stevia. Splenda has so many adverse side effect and can cause cancer and weight gain.

Splenda is encouraged by my group. Nearly all the Protein Shakes have sucralose in them including Premier Protein.

Your group needs to read up a bit on the negative effects of splenda..

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. Especially with tea.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
