Splenda/sucralose or Truvia/stevia. Some of the "atols" you want to stay away from.

I use all of them, spenda mostly. I bought sf popcycles before surgery and never used them. I didn't do cold well at all after surgery. Everything needed to be room temp or warm for my new pouch. Does seem odd that Wally world wouldn't have SF popcycles.

I've been using splenda for years...ever since it was still on limited availablity long before it went on the regular market.

Try making your own "popsicles" in a small dixie cup. Or make it a slushy. Italian Ice is a good option.

But don't stock up before surgery as who know how your tastes will change. I had and discovered that even the splenda ones which I used a long time didn't sit well at first...but then again, early out I wasn't taking in enough calories to be an issue.

Some people can't even tolerate sugar free after surgery.

I mostly use Splenda, but also use any generic to it. I buy the large bulk sacks of it because I use alot!!

I tried the Stevia and did not like it. At some point, I probably need to try it again.

I use Crystal Lite and Walmart has a Great Value brand Blackberry Grape that I love. You could probably mix this up and free it in ice cubes- I've never tried this, but it should work.

Good luck!!

Pre WLS I used Equal, post WLS has been Splenda. The sweeteners still bother me if I use too much (6 packets of Splenda in a tall coffee) so I've tried to get away from using so much.

Good luck!!!
