Already on this preop diet I feel like my stomach puffiness is down. I do feel weak but I am finally getting used to no solids. I can't really eat stuff with artificial sugars because it kills my system. So my options are limited. Any body else on pre op liquid

I'm on pre op and I found Crystal light pure made with truvia which is stevia and that's natural God made sweet plant but tgey mix it with a little sugar alcohol so you may or may not have problems with that. I'm allergic to aspartame or phenkyt whatever lol but I can handle small amounts of splenda/sucralose but not to much so I looked carefully and found alternatives. Still. It IS hard...I'm hungry and my mom cooks good and she us cooking good smelling food for herself so not helpful!! Oh well it's just one week for me!! Good fortune

One thing to remember is that most everyone here has been on pre op liquids. It is easier for some, harder for others. But we do understand and it is worth it.

Oh I was going to add, many natural stores like sprouts in the West coast sells stevia drops in various flavors I'm sure Amazon has them too. You can use them to flavor unflavored gelatin. Tea, coffee and more. Now my problem with stevia is that even though it'd nature made. It has a bit of a bitter aftertaste and I hate this. Ppl swear to me nustevia brand doesn't but I never tried it to see for myself. Anyways this might give you more options pre and post

I'm on day 8 of mine and it sucks lol. Luckily I was already getting a ton of Protein and few carbs so no carbs hasnt too bad. Surgery is next Tuesday!!
