Question:
Help with artificial sweetners

Before surgery I would get nauseas if I drank anything with NutraSweet in it. Now I am post op and I thought Splenda was my option but that also makes me feel sick. I am trying to stay away from sugar but not sure what else to try. I am only 10 days post op so I am hoping this will go away with time.    — Jeff B. (posted on September 21, 2002)

You also might try nutrasweet again! Often, people's tastebuds and tolerances for different things REALLY change postop. I've returned a lot of shake mixes and protein bars because what I stocked up on preop just didn't agree with me afterwards. There's also Stevia, which you can get in health food places.
