I do use splenda, I am almost 4 weeks out

My favorites are Stevia and Truvia

I use Splenda and blue agave. I have not experienced dumping and am 4.5 months out of RNY.

I use splenda, truvia, and equal with no problems at all...congrats on your surgery

I never had any trouble with splenda and I am 9-1/2 months out.

I'm a stevia and monk fruit (Nectresse) advocate...

Thank you everybody for the replies.

3 years post Gastric Bypass and I am very happy with my results...I use Splenda all the time. That is my favorite sugar substitute and I think I have tried them all. I do have a pre and post op list my Surgeon gave me and if you would like a copy of it I will be happy to share it with you.

..I am at my goal weight now, just want to maintain my weight. I am very happy and comfortable at 163.4#. After weighting 276# for years and years, I am very happy with my weight loss. I had lost down to 157# but just felt a little to small for my frame size at that weight. My face was also very skinny which I did not like at all. I lost my weight from Oct 2010 to Oct 2011 and I have maintained since then (2yrs), so I'm very happy with my success.

Good luck with your surgery, it is so worth all the work. Praying you have a quick recovery.

Thanks Butterfly but it's not necessary. Just that when reading the instructions on what I have to eat for the next 1-4 weeks was just a little vague. I know not to do any sugar as this will lead to dumping and then I see on my list if I want to add a sugar substitute to my breakfast I could. It just didn't register to me is all so i had to check here to see if splenda would be ok, I guess it is. Other things on the list like powered milk, it says and I quote "Low Fat Powered Milk" to mix in with the skim milk. Well, I never bought powered milk before and none of them say "Low Fat" on the box unless you read the box on what powered milk is and it tells you the process that it does and it takes the water and fat out of the milk. Anyway it was all a bit confusing to me, including the Whey Protein Powder, there are literally a dozen brands, types, flavors, etc. One to build muscle, one for something else, one that does it all, one that is Super whatever, and it had to be withing a certain nutritional value set. I finally found one that was just Whey Powder Vanilla that was close to what the paper told me to get. I came home and took a valium to calm down from the frustration of it all...lol Anyway I got it now.

use a little real vanilla, I am a not aspertaine advocate sooo I try not to use it. Vanilla will give a sweet sense to it

Having surgery 12/9, I was told to buy unflavored protein powder for the first 4 weeks because of taste buds possibly changing and I might find the flavored ones too sweet. May want to check with your nutritionist. I am also nervous about getting ready! My nutritionist said to buy a magic bullet because a blender adds a lot of air. Thoughts??

I looked at the bullet and the ninja and ended up buying the ninja, simple because I like the way it chops, puree's, etc. You know I looked for unflavored and I could not find any, everything was flavored, of course I didn't go to GNC or any place like that just Walmart and Winn dixie. I have heard here on the forum that the bullet is great and a lot of people here love em so that would be a good choice. Good luck to you Me2BeHealthy on your surgery, I am looking forward to mine in a couple of days.

Try unjury protein powder, is supposed to blend really smooth. Will consider Ninja, thanks. Good luck to you! Let me know how you do.

I use nutra sweet, no probelms with it. I have used Splenda in cooking and had no issues.
