Meal Replacement with Stevia?



Recommended Posts

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?

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..

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

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.< /p>

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.

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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
