Beverages with stevia



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has tried beverages with the sugar replacement stevia. Any issues? I like Vitamin Water zero and other drinks that contain stevia but am only 4 days out and don’t want to get sick or dumping.

Thanks!

Megan

I find the taste absolutely repugnant. Bought some Stevia Mio by mistake once and had to throw it all out. Bleh!

I'm a splenda girl through and through.

To each their own, though:)...

I was addicted to Vitamin Water Zero "Squeezed" Pre-Surgery. LOL I was addicted for about 7 years. Once I got out of the hospital, I started drinking it, and I didn't like it very much. I would say it was not really any better than aspertame or sucralose flavored drinks. I even tried one with ace-k. I basically haven't found anything that I really like, but the Premier Protein clear drinks actually taste the best to me (+20g Protein is a great extra).

But to get back to your question, no, I don't think it caused any issues. Maybe some gas, but I say only maybe because I'm only 2.5 weeks out and I'm still trying to figure out what foods like me LOL.

I use liquid stevia a lot in my tea. I like it a lot better than the granular kind, it mixes much better. I like the taste a lot better than Splenda.

I find Stevia is way better tolerated than Xylitol. I switched to a Stevia sugar free maple Syrup for oatmeal and stuff and immediately helped reduce gas and bloated feeling.

I wish Stevia was more common in Australia, I feel like when I'm in the US I can get a lot more options.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
