I need HELP!!! purevia? stevia?

I've found a Dr. and had my appts, met with the Nut, Psyc eval, Mar 8 is the seminar the Dr requires I attend, the Ins approves, BUT...I get migraine headaches from equal and splenda and the Nut says I cant have surg if I cant use those prot shakes.

I have had Lapband in 2007, slipped and removed in 2009.  decided on the sleeve this year but since I have a Hiatle hernia, I only can have RNY.  That will work.  

Anyone know any protein shakes with stevia or the like?  or recipes

This is stopping them from scheduling my surgery.

about time protein uses stevia to sweeten. i think the taste is great. it's mild and not overpowering.

I would suggest unflavored protein that way you can add your own sweetener. Also carnation instant breakfast has a no sugar added version, you would have to check the label because I cannot remember if it has added sweeteners, but if not you could mix that with the unflavor protein to make your own. I've never experienced headaches from splenda, but equal and the pink packets have caused them for me. Unflavored protein also has alot of other options as well, I've added it to home made tea. You could make a smoothie with fruit, or add it to oatmeal. Be creative and just try it as many ways possible until you find what works best for you.  I hope this helps.

I second the reccomendation of About Time protein. Though you can only get them online, they taste amazing, have great stats, and are all natural!
You can get samples from their website: www.tryabouttime.com

Also, I had a HH too, and haven't any any issues with it after surgery.
Good Luck.

 i am also very sensitive to those sweeteners.  Can you tolerate sucralose?  Costco sells Premier Nutrition Protein drinks with 30 grams of protein in them and they contain sucralose.  These do not bother me at all and are very tasty.  

Sucralose is what Splenda is made from. Splenda is a brand name where sucralose is the 'product'.

Jay Robb also sweetens with stevia.

 Thanks

About Time.  Like them on facebook and you wil get a discount code.  It's on the left I think it says Fan offers.  I won't use any other protein.
