Artificial sweeteners



Recommended Posts

I have never like artificial sweeteners. But I have been trying some lately. Today I bought some yogurt with some in to try! It is so awful! I don’t know if I can do it!

Any suggestions?

Toodles,

Rue

The only one I can stand and doesn't make me sick is Stevia. Have you tried that?

I agree. Stevia is natural, it's a little hard to get accustomed to the taste but once you find a brand that you like, you hardly notice it. Do not get Truvia. It is only partially Stevia, I believe the remainder are sugars.

I too prefer Stevia. It’s the only sweetener I can tolerate but I am pre-op for RNY. So I am not sure if that will change after surgery.

I am getting away from the artificial sweeteners as much as possible now. I was using the Mio flavor drops and I think they were really doing my entire body a disservice. I got discharged from the hospital this morning (I had to go back due to a stricture) and the entire time all I had was Water. I feel physically better as a result. Mio can suck it!

I eat TONS of Splenda (Sucralose). I love it and I don't worry about it:)

Stevia Sweetens me up where the rest made me headachy, crabby, cranky and no fun to be around. With Stevia my natural sweet disposition resurfaces. FYI I have even cut back,in that, I am enjoying the natural sweetness of my foods, better do it quick because the structurlized starvation of the dreaded liquid diet is-a-coming. Just don't know yet when it kicks into gear😞

I put Truvia in my tea and tolerate it just fine. I think it’s a matter of finding what will work for you.

Artificial sweeteners didn’t bother me at all pre op but now some things with them I can’t eat because of them. Yogurt is one. Triple zero makes yogurt with no artificial sweeteners. You really have to read the labels and choose carefully if they bother you. I find some flavors more offensive than others as well.

Good luck!

      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
