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.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
