Hi I am new to this world... I have just jumped my last hoop and visited with the nutritionist. So, I was given two options for my pre-op diet. Here is my question though.. All the shakes that are listed as meal replacements have suralose (splenda) or aspertame. I get nasty migraines from both, I like the dreamsicle by Jay Robb, but that is just a protein shake. Does anyone know of any meal replacement shakes that are made with stevia instead of splenda?

google meal replacements with stevia and see what you come up with.

I tried googling. I didn't find anything, which is why I was hoping someone who had the surgery may have more experience finding a drink. What a nice warm welcome to this forum... thanks..

GNC makes a whey protein powder that has stevia in it, not bad tasting. Only comes in vanilla and chocolate but it has 25 g of protein. And Quest bars are made with stevia.

Thanks Mrs. B.

Since I wrote the original post here is what i have found as far as Stevia Protein.

Jay Robb

Nature's Plus Ultra Energy Shake- 25 g of progein 4 grms Fiber, 8 grms Carbs ( I love the chocolate), but add more milk then they list or else it is too sweet.

I found Power crunch bar are sweetened with stevia- but they don't have the best stats.

I have also tried Garden of Life Raw Protein- I had to put more stevia extract in it because it was a little bit lacking and took some effort swallowing down.

VEGA One- I would skip this one though- it did something aweful to my stomach, and has been recalled in some places.

Vega energy- Still haven't tried this one.

Designer Whey- Just bought it havent' tried it yet.

also have found

Tera's Whey Protein. Just bought it havent' tried it yet

Biochem Whey- Just bought it havent' tried it yet

Still haven't found one I LOVE love.. but some are more palatable then others

You can try About time whey protein it is sweetened with stevia and metabolic reset by nature way. It has fiber and vitamins.

Thanks I went ahead and got 8 different samples packs (4 different flavors) with About Time. I loved that they didn't just offer chocolate, vanilla and strawberry.

Jay Robb is very good.

I just purchased Jay Robb a bit pricey but I like also. I try to stay with stevia sweetened proteins only.

I used Thorne Mediclear and I did the capsules, too. The product my surgeon's office recommended was just absurd -- I'd never put that crap in my body. I put the nutritionist through some extra work but it was worth it. I wanted a true liver cleanse for my pre-op, not artificial sweeteners or dairy, etc.

I love chocolate shakeology by Beachbody (Insanity, P90x, T-25, et)

How about getting some without any sweetener and adding your Stevia when you make the up? I was thinking about doing something like that for at least part of the liquid diet. Found some good prices on Swanson's website. They have sections for non-GMO, too.

Has anyone tried the oats overnight brand? They seem to cater to us sleevers!!!
