Crystal Light/Mio?

 Hi,

I was told I could have crystal light in my water when on my pre-op diet. Problem is me and Aspertame do not get along and It makes me feel ICKY. Mio is a little more tolerable but has sucralose. I forgot to ask about Sucralose, but I know there is sucralose in the shake mix they gave me. Am I safe to assume I can have the MIO?

Just wondering...

thanks,

Danielle

 I used mio for the same reason, hate crystal light. 

 So you were allowed Mio? The clinic is not open again until Monday so I can't ask anyone. How are you feeling Tamara?

 How are you making out with the pre-op diet. I start mine Tuesday. 

I have posted everything on facebook group. If you would like I can add you to the group it will be for my friends, and friends of friends as well as others I have met that have gone through surgery or will be. There are 3 post opers. and three pre-opers as well as any good supporting friends who want to hear the each others stories.

Anyway, the chocolate shakes taste good, not too sweet, the bars are good as well. Four is not enough as I feel very hungry and a little weak/lightheaded. Prepare for it so you can get your mind into that zone. I was prepared... but it was still a bit of an eye opener how hungry I am. Someone suggested dividing the bars into two (four pieces) and shakes into two servings for each shake so as to quell that hunger. Tomorrow that is what I will do.

Thanks fo asking.

 The first 2-3 days canbe really hard, but I found that if I put the shake in the freezer, it would make it thicker and make it actia;;u make me feel fuller...make it last longer too...by the end of the 2 weeks I was only taking 2 shakes and 1 bar a day some days....and full....

The time will fly and you both will be on the fast track soon...    

Good luck and keep on posting...

              

 Thanks for the support. I find lately I seem to vent so much... nerves and all. Island Momma and everyone else *****ads this, if you are interested in my facebook group. Feel free to send me a private message.

Mind I went through Bathurst, they seem a little different. I was doing good until Thursday, when I got an abcest at the incesion sight where they remove the stomach. I have to get an ultrasound tomorrow, so they can map it and hopefully drain it, as it is the size of my hand and getting bigger.

 Good luck and please let me know how it goes. I will be thinking about you. Take care Tamara.
