Pre-op diet: Can I have Stevia in my tea?



Recommended Posts

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow and I can have black tea and/or coffee. I figure I can add a bit of Protein Drink to my coffee, but can I add a stevia packet to herbal tea?

I do every day and post op too no issues that's the only way for me to get sweetness in my tea or coffee :)

You can use any sugar free sweetener. I have been using the Torani and other flavored sugar free syrups with no issues.

I don't have a liquid pre-op either. Just healthy foods and a clean out the day before . I'm having rny. Everyone's recommendations are so varied.

      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
