 Have never heard of them. but went to the website.  Just my opinion, but you probably don't want a shake with an appetite suppressant added to it because most people find that they have very little appetite for quite a while after surgery and struggle to force themselves to drink shakes or eat. I would also think that you wouldn't want to get your body used to having an appetite suppressant since you need the first six months to really develop your new eating habits, and if you continue drinking shakes that dull your appetite, you may find it hard to stick with whatever you have been eating in addition to the shakes once you stop them.  

This is about changing your lifestyle and eating habits permanently, and IMO appetite suppressants are part of the failed dieting mentality and don't have any place in it.

Thanks, 

 

Honestly did'nt even equate appetite suppressant factor, I got distracted by the lack of sugar and low carb.

Stevia does not cause dumping. Some people can taste stevia weird aftertaste... ( like my BF or some of my friends) but some ( like me ) really like the taste. I have a few friends that like stevia and some that hate it and can detect even small qty.

Syntrax Nectar has no sugar or carbs. I use Chocolate Truffle and mix it with milk. There is sugar in milk, but it's okay. I haven't heard of anyone dumping from milk. I am slightly lactose intolerant right now. I've been told it might go away. Cheese and yogurt are fine but I have to use lactose-free milk.

I use stevia in my hot tea and haven't had any trouble with it. I might not dump, though. I haven't tested if I dump. I don't want to find out that I don't dump.

I dump from milk. Some people dump on natural sugars.

I haven't tried those shakes but I do use stevia pretty regularly because I don't like all the artificial sweetenders.  Powdered stevia tastes funny to me but liquid stevia works pretty well in most things for me.  One bottle is pretty pricey but lasts forever because you literally only use a few drops at a time.  just add really slowly because the difference between just right and totally disgusting is about 1 drop.  We grow stevia in our garden and make stevia and mint tea in the summer.  It grows like a weed and makes really nice herbal tea.  I also use stevia to make lemonade all the time.  Really yummy!
