Pre-op diet: Can I have Stevia in my tea?

[lisafrommassachusetts 319]

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I can have black tea and/or coffee. I figure I can add a bit of Protein Drink to my coffee, but can I add a stevia packet to herbal tea?

I do every day and post op too no issues that's the only way for me to get sweetness in my tea or coffee

I do every day. No issues with it.

I start my pre- op diet this Wednesday. A little bit of nerves, I won't lie.

MyNextStep... I would be so happy to trade updates! What surgery are you having?

I would really like that. I am having Gastric sleeve surgery on 2/5. Which one are you having?

You can use any sugar free sweetener. I have been using the Torani and other flavored sugar free syrups with no issues.

I don't have a liquid pre-op either. Just healthy foods and a clean out the day before . I'm having rny. Everyone's recommendations are so varied.

That would be great. I can’t believe you don’t have a pre-Op. 2 weeks of shakes, bars, and Jello is gonna be hard.
