I am 1 week post-op today I am having trouble with my diet my body doesn't want any of that sugar free stuff basically the artificial sweeteners no Splenda, no equal, no Stevia none of that so I'm basically left with Water, broth and that's it that I know of unless there is a suggestion someone out there can give me?

Sidenote I feel like pressure above my belly, under my breast area what is that pain?

Had a lot of egg drop Soup here during liquid phase. Easy to make but easier to pick up from the local restaurant.

That pressure is from gas and I have it too. I also get it when I eat or drink to much at once. I have been doing sugar free pudding with Protein powder and Soups blended with Protein Powder. Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Are you getting your Protein in? I really don't want any artificial sweetners going in my system. However, I'm between a rock and a hard place. The thing is, this is all temperal for me (artfical sweetners.)

I'm sure no expert at only 6 days out myself but my Dr said be careful not to gulp Water, very small sips or you would get chest/ back pain. It could also be acid reflux. I heard this surgery is notorious for that. My Dr allows you during this phase to have Tomato juice (heaven!!) or V8. Can you do yogurt?

I'm 3 months out and didn't do the sugar free thing, I don't mind stevia it doesn't bother my stomach so I like oikos triple zero yogurt and Water flavor drops at target that list stevia and fruit juice as ingredients.

It's hard but I don't necessarily think sugar free is all that great, Whole Foods are much better you just have to watch portions and make sure you don't over do it and sabotage your weight loss. Healthy is where it's at, not chemicals.

Oh and I forgot to add, hot chocolate really helped me with Water I have 1 packet of Swiss miss milk chocolate and add a little fair life milk. Also Popsicles!!!! Omg I ate them all the time after surgery when I was in full liquids.
