Sugar Free Drinks
Hi Everyone. I'm a newbie and have a question with regards to sugar free products. I am a month postop. I am wondering if anyone had a problem tolerating some of the sugar free products? I have tried Crystal Light and others in my water for a different flavor and even tried Tropicana sugar free drinks. They don't make me nauseas, but they make me feel like my system is off, so I ditch them. I even get this when I put a packet of splenda in my cereal and try to eat the sugar free puddings and jellos too. Before the surgery, I had no problem with sugar free, but now my system feels like it's off when I consume them. Orange sugar free popsicles go down great though! Has anyone else had this problem? Thx!
I went for my last nutrition couseling before surgery on Tuesday and the nutritionist was saying that sometimes after surgery patients have a hyper-sensitivity to sweets.. meaning anything that tastes sweet. She told me I may have to water down Crystal Light and things like that to accomodate them to my new anatomy and taste preferences. :D
