Splenda?

What is the best sweetner for us to put in our coffee?   And also what would be the best laxative that would be easy on our stomach at this point?

 

Thank you

I either use Splenda or nothing if I add my protein shake to coffee. 
My daily routine includes Metamucil now.  It has helped to move things along.  Occasionally, I take a dose of MOM.
Still need to increase my fiber intake, but so far...so good! 
 

Splenda definately....i use it on everything...lol.  Sorry i can't help you out about the laxative

I use benefiber and Splenda. I like it better than equal. My mom uses stevia. She says it's natural. I don't like the after taste.

I use Splenda.  I take Align it's a probiotic and it's worked great so far I started taking it about 2 weeks ago.

surgeons office told me senna or colace.  how are you feeling 2 weeks post op? are you emotions winding down? my surgery is feb 11 and im an raging insomniac with racing thoughts, lol

My emotions are still a little out of whack.... Yesterday I was crying bc I didn't want to go to a Super Bowl party and be around food and beer and my finance wasn't too understanding until the tears started flowing....  I'm not ready to sit there with everyone in that type of setting yet....  It's also hard bc everyone thinks I just had my gallbladder out so at least one of the guys there yesterday is a dr.  I didn't really want to worry about him asking anything either since I still have my gallbladder.   Ughh

I use Splenda mostly.  I would like to try Stevia since it is all natural but I haven't yet.  I use Restoralax (same as Miralax) once in awhile when I find things are slow moving.

At less than a month post op the coffee would have been a laxative for me! But, other than that, I use Miralax in one of my drinks every day to keep things moving. However if you are at critical mass then you might want to go the Dulcolax suppository route. That's what I had to do early out when things stopped moving. There are certainly other things you could try, though.

Oh, and if Splenda is wrong, I don't wanna be right. I've tried stevia in my coffee and didn't care for it. It's all about taste preference and how you feel about artificial sweeteners, really.

Thanks Amy.   I'm trying the coffee first bc I'm at three weeks today and the last two weeks nothing has budged but I also haven't used the bathroom so I'm wondering if that could be a bit of the problem....What other suggestions do you have.....
