Monkfruit is soooo good! I can’t stand aspartame, and steivia, yuck! 😖

splenda is okay but I understand it is kinda bad for you...

but Monkfruit is great! The kind I get is slightly less sweet then sugar, very mild aftertaste but not unpleasant (reminds me of gum), when mixed with other flavors is almost unnoticeable (especially compared to anything with nasty aspartame)

Yeah I like Monkfruit as sweetener. And I have noticed something else ,related or not, but I have lost that post-surgery sweetness, you know when unsweetened things or even Water has sweet taste? At 7 m9nths I seem to have lost it! Curious😳, isn't it?

I've never tried it. Not a big fruit fan except for bananas sometimes

Do sell it at my fail-safe, Wal-Mart. Look in the Sugar Aisle, should be on the top shelf near Splenda, Stevia and the other sweeteners. I. also have had Agave, had it in Decaf tea, okay but nothing to write home about, didn't think it was worth the money I paid.Incidently my store, good old # 2149, is in the m8dst of a massive remodel! Guess it will fine at the ends but it's like entering 24 levels of H*** trying to find things now, Some ninny in Bentonville Arkansas was either drunk or high when he formulated this floor plan, I say male because no woman would have moved things around the way this blueprint has things now!😖😧😰😪

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
