NutraSweet, aspartame and most other artificial sweeteners give me Migraines. I have a concern when I go on my liquid diet when they say "sugar- free" that I will have a very limited choice when it comes to flavor. I can have stevia, but wondered if there was anyone else out there with this issue and if there were other sugar substitutes that were allowed or what other "sweet" liquids were still on the table. Thank you!

I have found I really don't like most sugar free drinks anymore, they are either too sweet or too artificial tasting

I found out the hard way long time ago that I can not have aspartame or soy. I always have to go the route of all natural, organic or plant base products. The Vitamin shop store or even like the grocery store Earth Fair has tons of choices. I still drink my Protein Shake from Garden of Life Raw Organic Meal in chocolate flavor now, vanilla is to sweet tasting now after WLS. Hope this helps.

I use stevia exclusively unless in a bind then sucrolose.
Stur Water Enhancer and a few others use stevia, Monkfruit, etc. Naturally they are expensive but you could always brew your own iced tea too

      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?
