Thank you.

Splenda is the only sweetner i use, my favorite is the sugar blend! The best tasting sugar substitute i have found hands down. I was sleeved august 29th and started using it almost immediately. Goodluck on your journeys:0)

I stayed away from Splenda forever post-op. But, I brought it back several months ago (in some decent quantity, too), and it has caused absolutely no problem at all.

Splenda was recommended by my Dr. perfectly safe, been using for over 5 months.

Splenda is sucralose, a sugar alcohol

sucralose is not a sugar alcohol.

sugar alcohols include xylitol, erythritol, etc. and they are, in my opinion, a much better choice than Splenda.

My program was fine with Splenda and my stomach was cool with it too. When I was in the hospital my liquid meal tray they brought me included a mug of hot tea with some Splenda packets.

I switched from splenda and went to Stevia. Splenda has so many adverse side effect and can cause cancer and weight gain.

Splenda is encouraged by my group. Nearly all the Protein Shakes have sucralose in them including Premier Protein.

Your group needs to read up a bit on the negative effects of splenda..

You can, but most people get Stevia or something like it. I get Stevia or the other thing that sounds like Stevia but actually tastes better. Especially with tea.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
