Has anyone tried this? I found it a far better sweetener than Splenda and I only need to use half a packet to get the same desired amount of sweetness I like as a whole packet of Splenda.

Truvia is made with rebiana, a part of the stevia plant, so it's a natural sweetener. I found a box of 80 packets at Wal-Mart for around $7. I love it!

I have used Stevia for years, you can buy it at the health food store or at Whole Foods, way cheaper than the Truvia brand. Just look for Stevia.....It's much healther, all natural no chemicals.

I've just started using Stevia. Purchased a box of 200 packets at Sam's Club for about $10. I find it to be sweeter than Truvia and no after taste. Also Aspartame and Splenda play heck with my bladder :rolleyes: giving me spasms while Stevia does not.

Do you know if Sams Club is the only place that sells Stevia? Because I love sweetened tea but can't drink it because of the no sugar rule and because I HATE splenda! It has the worst aftertaste. So I would love to try the Stevia, but I'm not even sure if we have a Sams Club here haha. So any ideas where else they might sell it?

I have bladder problems too so I wish they would start putting it in things. So many things have aspertame and that stuff is poison for me and splenda gives me gas!

I know that you can buy Stevia in natural food stores and I would think you could buy in on line. I did find this morning that it is terrible in cottage cheese. I was raised to eat sugar on cottage cheese and don't really like it any other way so I tried putting stevia on it for Breakfast. DON"T!!!!! It made the cottage cheese so bitter that I couldn't eat it. I've only ever tried it in my tea until now so I don't know if it would react in any other foods that way. I'm now almost afraid to try.

ive just started using stevia... its great in coffee, but its really tricky with other things.. I find it hard to get the right amount of sweetness without making things too sweet since a little goes a LONG way... still playing around with it.

I purchased mine at trader Joes.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
