Beverages with stevia



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has tried beverages with the sugar replacement stevia. Any issues? I like Vitamin Water zero and other drinks that contain stevia but am only 4 days out and don’t want to get sick or dumping.

Thanks!

Megan

I find the taste absolutely repugnant. Bought some Stevia Mio by mistake once and had to throw it all out. Bleh!

I'm a splenda girl through and through.

To each their own, though:)...

I was addicted to Vitamin Water Zero "Squeezed" Pre-Surgery. LOL I was addicted for about 7 years. Once I got out of the hospital, I started drinking it, and I didn't like it very much. I would say it was not really any better than aspertame or sucralose flavored drinks. I even tried one with ace-k. I basically haven't found anything that I really like, but the Premier Protein clear drinks actually taste the best to me (+20g Protein is a great extra).

But to get back to your question, no, I don't think it caused any issues. Maybe some gas, but I say only maybe because I'm only 2.5 weeks out and I'm still trying to figure out what foods like me LOL.

I use liquid stevia a lot in my tea. I like it a lot better than the granular kind, it mixes much better. I like the taste a lot better than Splenda.

I find Stevia is way better tolerated than Xylitol. I switched to a Stevia sugar free maple Syrup for oatmeal and stuff and immediately helped reduce gas and bloated feeling.

I wish Stevia was more common in Australia, I feel like when I'm in the US I can get a lot more options.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
