Question about sweetners

OK, so as I understand it, once the WLS is complete, sugar will cause you problems, such as "dumping" (which sounds like an extreme case of rapid blood sugar dropping that I've had a few times).  I have been using Splenda or NutraSweet. Will these artificial sweetners cause any problems like refined sugar does?  Thanks.

 I use splenda in my oatmeal and drin**** Tea with splenda in it and I have never dumped. I am about 4 1/2 months post op. A good idea is to use the spleada packets for portion control that way you don't use to much. Also there is a splenda brow sugar, but this is mixed with real sugar so you will have to try it. I use a little in my oatmeal once a week and I have never dumped. I would think Nutrasweet would be the same.

Both are on the "acceptable" list from my NUT.

Yup, any of the sugar substitutes are fine -- splenda, nutrasweet/equal, sweet-n-lo, stevia, etc.  The only thing to avoid is the "Splenda for Baking" and the "Splenda Brown Sugar for Baking," because these are blends of half sugar and half splenda.

Splenda, NutraSweet, Equal and most of the other brands that don't contain sugar alcohols are good to go and probably won't make you dump.   For me, sugar alcohols are sometimes worse that real sugars so I try to avoid those if I can.  

 Opt for the DS, and you won't even have to worry about it   (right, Scottie me lad?   hehehe)   &;-)
