Finally found a drink I can handle...



Recommended Posts

Everything I have tried up to this point just hasn't set well with me mostly due to taste. I love Water, but it hurt so bad I couldn't handle it. The other day my husband had to run into Panera so I had him grab me a glass of Water with lemon. It didn't seem to hurt as bad as plain water. I have noticed if I drink ice cold water with lemon it doesn't hurt at all. I was at Kroger and saw their Diet Decaf iced tea sweetened with splenda I think. Anyways, I bought it and put it on ice, waited until it got cold and was able to drink it with no problems. Hope this helps some of you that are struggling with liquids. Have a great day!!

If you look in the powdered drink or tea section, Lipton has the boxes with 10 powder sticks of tea..aspartame free..one flavor is wild berry honey and its great. The other flavors have green tea which are just ok.

Thanks! I will have to check it out. I have never been one for anything other than ice tea, coke or Water so flavored drinks are hard for me.

I have read a few things that said it caused cravings so I went and checked my list of "approved" items and it is not on there.

I think I'll stay away from it.

Amazon has a good selection of Decaf teas, both bags and k-cups. That would allow you to add Splenda to sweeten. Tea (and coffee) are great drinks and healthy as well!

Splenda is sucralose. Equal and Nutrasweet are aspartame.

I love Celestial Seasoning Bengal Spice tea. I brew it and chill it. It take like milk less Chai. I love it. Its caffeine free. I dont think it needs anything sugar or sugar substitute wise. Love this stuff hot or cold.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
