Kath, I don't have any problems with any of the sweetners, I sure hope they determine what the issue is for you.
Take care,

Hi Steph,
Well, that seems to be the general answer. Although my blood work from the GPabout a month and a half ago, came back great in everything except protein... which did reveal protein malabsorbtion. So I called up my bariatric nurses and they said to up the protein ( where I had only had about 50-60 gr. a day and now am trying to get in 70-10)... maybe with an extra shake.
Now, I just saw my surgeon on Fri. and they took blood so I should know something at the end of this week. I just have felt so weak and in so much pain and had this brain fog. So, thanks for your input Steph. Keep in touch. Hope eventually I will be able to help others. God Bless! Luv, kath

Topic: RE: Has anyone taken a vacation since surgery?
In Sept I went for a week to Niagara Falls, Canada. I arranged for a refridgerator in the motel room in advance, so I was able to keep a supply of cheese and meat packets (instant protein) available. Other than that, my vacation was pretty "normal." Oh yeah, I carried my bottle of water with me everywhere too.
I hope you have a wonderful time. Take care!

Robin, congrats on the PS and the flat tummy, oh that must feel awesome. Take it easy for a while and let yourself heal, you definitely need to show us the flat tummy when you are feeling better.

Topic: RE: how many calories?
I'm late responding! I was gone to Canton for the weekend. What fun I had! It was my first time to go, and something I could NEVER have done at 300 pounds. The walking woulld have killed me.
I guess I am at the high end of the calorie count! I get between 1100 & 1200 per day. About 300 of that is from protein drinks I make. I get around 120 protein a day and between 30 & 35 carbs.
My surgeon is ok with where I'm at, and said by around my one year anniversary he would expect me to be at 1500 and stay there pretty much the rest of my life. But my goal weight is 150-160. If I was shorter and had a goal weight lower, say 120 I would need to end up at lower calories.
Hugs,
Susan

Nutra Sweet is EVIL - gives me a headache and makes me feel icky. But I have NO problem with Splenda.

Tweety has another question. 
1.) Does anybody have brain problems when using Splenda or NutraSweet? I get so spacey that I can't make sentences, have trouble focusing etc. It is getting pretty bad. So , I am trying a few days with just H2O no frui****er drinks with Splenda... although it's gaggy for me. I'd rather be able to think clearly and not be poisoning my brain! Question 2.) 
I have to crush all meds and "down" them with DaVinci Falvored Syrup ( which is delicious ... to cover up the nasty taste of the meds and is really very liquidy not syrupy) BUT, it too is created with Splenda. Now I know that there is a chlorine molecule within the Splenda chemistry... from my readings (which is not a good thing) But, could I have some input from you guys who use either Splenda or Nutra Sweet and have you experienced any of these problems and what might you suggest? Thanks. God Bless! Luv, kath
