What kind of shakes without art. sweeteners?



Recommended Posts

I can't use artificial sweeteners. I can use Stevia, which is natural, but that's it. I keep reading about people using weight loss shakes preop and such, and I wonder if anyone knows of some that don't use art. sweeteners? Maybe I'll just have to make my own? I get TERRIBLE Migraines from any art. sweetener on the market. I've tried them all, same story.

About Time Protein powders are all natural and use stevia as a sweetener. The only flavor of theirs I have tried is mocha mint, which I thought was pretty good but not OMG THE BEST EVER. I have seen people raving about their pumpkin spice Protein Powder recently as well.

I have also tried Tera's whey, which offers a range of types of protein (organic, non-GMO, etc.) which are all all-natural. Tera's Whey gets lots of good reviews but I have to say I found it absolutely awful. I thought it tasted like dirty dishwater. But you can order single serving packets to test it out, perhaps you will like it better than I did.

I started using Publix Greenwise Organic vanilla Whey Protein powder and I found it VERY tasty. Not only that, I don't believe they have any artificial sweeteners at all! I've also tried Jay Robb chocolate and it's very tasty, has no artificial additives and is sweetened with Stevia. It's pricey, but it's worth it for the taste and clean nutrition.

Hey, I'm a nurse, too...! I just sent in my paperwork so I'm at stage negative something er other. I read about people doing the preop thing and I wondered what I could use that wouldn't give me headaches.

Try the unflavored Protein powders & add a sugar-free Syrup for flavor or add it to any liquid or soft food. I had to give up on the flavored protein powders post-op because they were too sickly sweet. I got some at GNC to try & then ordered some Now Sports unflavored whey isolate from Amazon. The GNC stuff was a bit thick but the Now Sport powder is much better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
