Hello, Happy 4th. Wanna to know if anyone else is allergic to protein drink,sugar free foods and drink if so what did you use instead.my vsg surgery is in 5 days and now freaking out as to what to use.

What type of protein drinks are you drinking? I am allergic to whey protein, but can do soy, hemp, pea and a few others. There are a number of vegan and top-8 allergen-free drink options.

It is really all about working around things that don’t work for you.

What kind of reaction are you having?

I don't use any artificial sweeteners at all. I drink water or herbal tea. I use a very good quality whey isolate protein powder (BioChem) that is soy free, 99% lactose free, gluten free, and has no added sugars or artificial sweeteners/flavors. I get it at sprouts and add it to my smoothies, yoghurt, soups, beans, just about anything.

Getting rid of the sweet tooth is a real help with avoiding temptations later. For me, a piece of fruit tastes so sweet it is amazing - I almost feel guilty!

Yeah, found that out for myself, in the infinite stupidity my local Wal-Mart deleted Musselmans unsweetened applesauce off their shelves. I said to ME -Frustr8 old girl you used to like jars of cinnamon Applesauce back beyond. Looked them over, picked one with less than 16 calories, remembered there is 18 calories in a teaspoon of "over refined. & bad for you "white sugar so rationalized may still be Okay. One teaspoon and I spit it out in the trash. So cloyingly sweet I could not stand it, if Tomkitten will eat it, fine, otherwise it's going to be dumped out and I'll send the jar with the recycle stuff Might as well like a spoonful of honey!!

The guidelines for post op foods without artificial sweeteners? Just don't use them. That stuff is poison, in my way of thinking.

You'll find most protein powders have some kind of sweeteners to make the flavor

Smoother, BETTER and more profitable, gosh w"ve hung out so long on here I'm finishing your sentences. If it wasn't so Laughable it might be SAD?
