So, the hardest part for me seems to be the drinks. There aren't any non-carbonated drinks I like. I hate diet koolaid, those little powder mixins, tea, and I'm sick of Water...

Any brilliant suggestions?

Thanks!

I bought kool-aid packets what ever flavor you like, then instead of adding 1cup of sugar I add 1/2 cup of truvia. Its wonderful, and u cant tell its not sugar, no after taste like splenda. I also make sugar free lipton tea, then just add 2 packets of truvia to my cup of tea and stir. Delicious!!! I was addicted to regular coke, about 5-6 a day, havent had one since july. Try truvia its all natural, not artificial. Use in place of sugar in recipes!!

Love Truvia

I haven't drank soda pop in well over 20 years. Don't miss it. Never did drink Coke, last time I tasted it was about 1965 or so. Yuck.

Between herbal teas, sun teas, coffee (black, not confectionated), various bottled waters both still and fizz type (yes, I can get along with a bit of it now after 8 years postOp), and a bit of the powdered stuff from one of the nutritional suppliers, I do fine.

I prefer the lemon-flavor non-sweetened carbonated La Croix. I used to have to let it go flat or pour in a pottery-cup, as certain kinds of glazes would kill the carbon-bond rapidly.

Also Appolinaris form Germany with the tiny bubbles was great for me in the early-to-middle postOp months.

Such as Calistoga and most US carbonated waters were just to strong a flavor....has something to do with the 'acidic' aspect of how large the CO2 bubbles are.

Huckleberry-nunt tea was very very good to me the first 6 weeks postOp.
