I am having surgery on 8/1/2018. My surgeon requires a 2 day bowel prep before surgery.

They stated that I can have sugar free koolaid, or crystal light. I was comparing packets and the cheap kool aid packets (.25 each) have 0 calories, carbs or anything else.

Am I able to add Stevia to that instead of getting the "sugar free" koolaid that has other artificial sweeteners in it

Might want to taste test that sugar free koolaid first before adding anything to it. Just to be safe.

Most sugar free koolaids are sweetened . If you are just fretting the regular packets and sweetening them yourself with stevia you will be fine

      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?
