Aspartame
Does aspartame, Nutrasweet cause any problems? I
know that consumed in large amounts it can cause
diarrhea. I wondered if it bothered anyone post-op. Also do
you have to eat three times a day? There are times
when I don’t eat breakfast and sometimes don’t eat
until 1 or 2 in the afternoon. Is it important to eat
more regularly? <br> Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!

I havent had any problems with artificial
sweeteners. I have noticed though that before surgery I loved
sweet things, and since surgery I really dont care for
them. Even sweetnlow is too much for my palate these
days. Ive heard alot of post ops say the same thing,
that their desire for certain things has gone
away.<br><br>As for not eating until 1:00, I do the same thing
most of the time. Sometimes I have to force myself to
eat. Just ,ake sure that your getting your vitamins,
your tums for calcium and as much protein as you can
get down. I told my doctor that sometimes I just dont
want to eat…he said to just do it logically.

Hi gang…about the aspartame thing…I am not sure if
I would be interested to know what others have been
Carolyn
the article is true or not. I do know that my surgeon
has forbidden any carbonated drinks period. I am not
sure how other surgeons feel but mine says stay away
cuz the carbonation can cause problems in the pouch,
not only stretching it but causing damage in the early
stages. I am an advid diet coke drinker…but I have
made a life altering decision here, so why on earth
would I do anything to sabotage my chance of living a
thin life??
I know that whatever my surgeon tells me I am going to
abide by….I want to be sucessful and thin
told tho
