I have been reading your threads and they are all very helpful. I am excited/nervous and scared all at the same time. I am having this surgery to rid of my Diabetes, high blood pressure and hopefully help my fibromyalgia! That being said, I am gathering all of this stuff and most everything has Aspartame and that causes my Fibro to flare terribly. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am so happy I have found such a wonderful and supportive group!!



:) Happy Losing!!!

WELCOME to the Forum!!!

A sweetener called Truvia is natural and tastes great like sugar. My suggestion, Make your own diet drinks and diet snacks and stay away from Aspartame if you can.

Good Luck!

I prefer stevia and there are many items with it in it now as sugar substitute esp in stores like whole foods
