LadyBelle,
I'm off induction now and I'd rather have a little of something that tastes good as opposed to a lot of something that to me tastes horrible. I have forced the other artificial sweetners and when I do....ewwwww they come back up! I think wheylow just might be an alternative for those who just cant take the others.

Whey Low does not have 4g of carbs per teaspoon. It has 1 g of carb per teaspoon. Regular sugar has 4 g of carbs per teaspoon.

So, Whey Low is 1/4 the carb grams of regular sugar. However, remember that Splenda has 24 grams of carbs per cup. So, Whey Low isn't such a bad deal.

Let me expand on my previous message. Whey Low does have 4 g carb per teaspoon but only 1 effective carb.

How so. The nutricional info I read had 4g carbs with 0 fiber.
Total Carbohydrate 4 g 1%
Dietary Fiber 0 g 0%
Sugars 4 g
Protein 0 g

There is also a note at the bottom though


I don't understand this though, as I thought you could only deduct fiber, and carbs from lactose and fructose were still carbs.

mammoth,

i hope everything goes well. what a sucky thing to have to go through.

all the best to you Jake. You crack me up! (won;t even cheat for a colonoscopy)! Good for you. Let us know how you make out! flutter

Oh Jake, you are just too cute!! I really mean it. I will be waiting to hear how you make out. Be well.
SandraDee

jake,

how'd it go? haven't heard back from ya and gettin' a little worried. let us know how you're doing.

Yes, let us know how everything went. But please please do not feel the need to share any pictures

Hiya All:
Well...I will skip a play by play...and as Ladybelle requested, skip the pic's! LOL!

The "cleansing" went Ok...expected faster action then what I got...and drinking that 8 cups of CRAP mixed with the crystal light was not a happy-thing...buit got it all down ok...just that I did not get "results" from all the cleanse-meds untill later that NIGHT which meant a long, late, night in the bathroom! UGH!

The colonoscopy went well...did NOT like ALL the air they blow up your "arse", and found it painful. Said so...and thats when they turned out my lights! GONE! HEAVY DRUGS!
I was still drugged heavy when we got home an hour drive after the recovery room! I LOVE that hospital!

Report: my report from the doc was better then expected...some minor problems...but nothing I can't LIVE with! Still have problems and working on it! and NOT to worry....I will be A-OK!

Now, have the final visit on the 18th...get results of Liver; bloodwork and ultrasound for liver then. Had high levels of AST and ALT which raised some concern there, thus the liver tests were done (seperate visits)...hope that turns out Ok and not Hepatitus. Man...they were asking me if I was IV drug user or alchoholic...which I am not/have never been either...and then they got to that blood transfusion in 1986 I had received...3 units from a surgery...thus the concern with those elevated levels.

Anyway; Little sore today , like a "prison inmate" but I had "other" exams beside the colonoscopy! LOL!

THANK YOU ALL, my dear friends, for the prayers and well-wishes you have given me. I do so appreciate you all!!!
Jake

Jake,
Glad to see the prisoners let you out!

Glad to hear you're back home safe and well

Good luck!
I had one done last year..the worst part for be, besides the not eating for 48 hours, was the terrible stuff I had to drink (Fleet 1) and the bathroom time ;(

jake,

so good to hear from you. sorry you had to endure that experience. you'll be in my prayers!

It seems I can never get enough of your humor!
