| WLS Mentor  |  another one  ok i have another one of those things that creeps into your mind and you just can't let go of. I know everybody's different so i'm hoping to hear from alot of people on this subject, and i know it may be different for me but i just need to get a general feeling for this. Splenda. can splenda be used in baking in replace of sugar? i know it would have to be like, sugar free chocolate if there is such a thing but if i were to bake say a vanilla cake could i use splenda instead of real sugar and manage to have a tiny piece. I know that i probably shouldn't be thinking about sweet stuff at all for after the surgery but i usually do alot of baking for family holiday get togethers and i'm just wondering if i can get away with putting splenda (or other sweetners) instead of sugar and thus be able to have even a tiny bite. i probably won't try this until i've lost all of my weight to lose and i'm afraid of dumping so it may never become and issue for me but i just wanted to get everyones take on this. thanks

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Yes, you can use Splenda for cooking. I once offered to cook some Japanese for Craig and Leslie, and Craig told me to use the same amount of Splenda instead of sugar. We don't have Splenda in Japan, though, so everyone, if you're visiting here, bring your own supply!

| WLS Mentor | cool! thanks. I did know that you could get splenda in brown sugar cause a couple of weeks ago when i sent roo to the store he was supposed to get regular splenda but he brought home brown sugar splenda. i like splenda than any other sweetners. No splenda in japan Doc? that sucks.

| Super Moderator | Oh, I see. Come to think of it, it wasn't baking that I did.

Height:  | My mom and dad are diabetic and I know that they bake with Splenda and like it. I haven't tried it yet, but have tried baking with the Equal baking blend before and didn't have any problems with it, but that was pre op. I am trying to be good for now and actually crave the salty more than the sweet for the time being. janae |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  | just a note from my experience: too much splenda in my day causes weight loss stalls and will trigger my cravings! I try to limit such for speical ocasions for now, during my honeymoon of looseing. We are all different but im finding this to be a reality for me.
