I am going to have my surgery on July 11th. I was going to start to stock up on some things. I have tried crystal light and they all seem real sweet to me. I think it is probley the aspertane. Any suggestions on this.

Maybe not use as much. Also, some people prefer Mio to CL. I wouldn't do a lot of stocking up just yet. Buy small quantities of items because your taste buds will likely change some. For the first few weeks after surgery, EVERYTHING was too sweet for me. CL, Protein Shakes, SF Popsicles, my chewable Vitamin - EVERYTHING. Some of what I bought is still in my pantry. LOL! Once I moved to solid foods, my taste buds regulated out close to where they were before. Now at 5 months out, nothing bothers me! Good luck with your surgery!

4C is made with sucralose (splenda) as are the fruit flavored waters and Powerade SF. But, splenda is sweet too. I just decrease the amount I use.

Aspartame that is it. Yes that is all I drink now is water. I just hope I dont dislike water after my surgery.

some cl is made with truvia now. but the best suggestion is just add more water to tame it down. And I agree with everything tasting too sweet immediate postop. Now at 7 wks postop, things are settled down for me like pecan above.

Diet Rite..the only pop you'll find without it.
