I woke up this morning with a scratchy throat. I would love to have a cup of decaf tea with a teaspoon of honey, but honey is not on any of my lists. Do you think it would be ok?

Tomorrow I will be 2 weeks post op and just started full liquid diet, thanks!

Yea, it should be okay for a day or two, I'd think. In the hot tea it will be less viscous. Also, there is a 'sugar-free' honey [??] at Wal-Mart: "HoneyTree's Imitation Honey." Also maybe suck on some Ricola or other sugar-free cough drops for moisture. Feel better.

Honey is the most natural thing on the planet. Have at it, I'd say!

You're so soon out of surgery, a bit of natural sugar is not going to de-rail your weight loss at all. In fact, it has many other additional properties which would be excellent for you.

Have you tried camomile tea? Very soothing on the throat and the tummy. I'm a huge fan of that and green tea - which has a bucket load of anti-oxidants in it.

Enjoy

I have some honey in tea often. It is natural sugar and if it is local, it is really good for allergies too. Try peppermint tea; I read about it on here and love it. Very soothing to the tummy. I also love my sleepy time and I think that has chamomile and peppermint.

Thanks! Had a teaspoon of honey in my tea yesterday and today and it went down fine!
