I got the call today, one week from being told they were submitting to my insurance. I didn't expect approval so fast. My surgery is scheduled for August 19th at University of MD.

Has anyone used a protein powder with no artifical sweeteners? I was emailing with my NUT earlier today about a artifical sweetener free protein powder. I have serious headaches, dizziness and nausea with stuff containing aspartame and splenda. I bought a couple single serve packets of Jay Robb. Has anyone tried others?

So excited!!!

Congrats and best wishes for a safe surgery, speedy recovery and weight loss!

Sorry, no luck on protien shakes without artificial sweetners, but if you do find one that tastes good let me know!! I don't get adverse reactions to it, but hate the aftertaste of them! I currently only use Premiere Protein Chocolate pre-mixed shakes and it lists Sucralose and a myrid of other ingredients (and I have no idea what they are) but it's 30 gr Protein and only 5 gr Carbs. Tastes the best to me of all the others I've tried!

Congratulations! Sorry I can't help with protein powders. Aspartame also gives me a headache but splenda/sucralose does not. :( I'd be lost without it!

Joy congrats on your approval. Go to GNC or the Vitamin shoppe and get you the Gold Standard powdered whey protein it is great it only has 1 or 2 grams os sugar I can't do the ones with artificial sweetners it does the same thing to me I get the double chocolate or the rocky road. Both of these taste great I never had the vanilla.
