4.2 G of sugar in 1 tsp...

I would definately not do the sugar yet...I still haven't and I'm almost 7mo out.  I like splenda, but have also bought this other sugar alternative called Whey Low, it tastes just like sugar to me...I only use it for baking cause it was kinda expensive.  I have also seen something called SugarTwin at the store....there are other options, you just have to find one that you like.  I can't stand any of the artificial sweeteners other than splenda.

I really like the Hawaiian Punch ones too...there is also SF Kool-Aid.  It usually says to mix one drink stick in a 16.9oz bottle of water...that mixture is WAY too sweet for me, so I mix it in a 32oz bottle.  There is also Powerade Zero, not in mix form, they come in Mixed Berry, Grape and Strawberry.  I like them too, they are kinds sweet too, but not too bad. 

Tara, if you are looking for good drink replacements.... try crystal light peach tea, ice cold. Yummy. I actually loved this so much postop, I drank it for months and now can't stand the taste. LOL

My other faves have been sf koolaid. Tropical punch, cherry and grape. Grape is less sweet, and they are all so yummy. They taste just like koolaid, and this will help you have a tasty selection!

Good luck. You will do great!

I only dumped once on one dose of Theraflu, it took four hrs and lasted 20 mins and I dont want to every again. The dr who told me to take it did not think that a small amount like that would cause me issues.
