I thought it would be fun to have a thread for new food products.

I am recommending

*****Lipton White tea with rasberry*******

I have only tried the regular . It comes in sf too.

Use this site to also thumbs up or thumps down for example.

I have found it the cheapest at Sams.

I agree, it rocks! The sf is OK, but I'd rather drink less of the regular....I ended up adding Torani sf Syrup to the sf one...

Here is the website for the truelemon, etc. You can type in your zip code and it is supposed to tell you where you can buy it in your area. However, it said I could get it at my Wal-Mart and I searched forever and never found it. However, the Wal-Mart in my town has to be the worst in the nation so others may have it. Good luck. I started to order some samples but someone said they take like 2-3 months to arrive. But, it looks like its going to take me that long to find it anyway. LOL

True Lemon®

So my nectar Iced Tea-flavored Protein arrived today. Let's call it "wannabe tea". It's not bad. It smells icky, but it's okay. I'm not fooled into thinking that this is really a glass of iced tea, but it's a hell of a lot better than I excpected it to be. I'm going to experiment to see if I can mix it with other beverages to see how it tastes...

The real issue is that it looks exactly like a Frappucino...and that would be much more delicious :youcandothis:

I found 100 calorie packs of Lorna Dune and Grasshopper Cookies as well as 100 calorie packs of pringles that all taste wonderful. The 60 calorie cups of Jello pudding are great as is but also mimic a fudge pop if you freeze them. Smart popcorn is delicious and packed as 100 calorie portions if you're craving something salty.

Well, I found the Truelemon and Truelime packets at Kroger.....they were in the last place I looked and I almost didn't look there. They were over by the splenda and sweet n low. I thought they would be with the koolaid mix, tea, something like that. Another discovery I made was over by the chocolate milk mix, they have sugar free mix ins for chocolate, strawberry and vanilla milk made by Disney. Has anyone tried them?

Having doubts about the Wannabe Tea. I still have this weird aftertaste in my mouth...I feel like I need to down some kerosene or something to make it go away...

Damn you, Protein powder! *shakes fist at sky*

Well, some people put milk in their tea. I hate milk, usually drink my tea black, so that doesn't really apply to me. That really should have ended my search, but I wanted to believe it would be delicious.

I was being overly quixotic and now I have to continue my search for the perfect Protein shake.

Good luck with that, I resigned from my Quest of doing that for years... I'm quite content with the IDS shots.

I know it's not new, but...I like to use the Wal-Mart brand sugar free add to Water mixes. They are great. I hate to drink plain water. It is gross to me. I add these packets to my water and drink it like its juice. I like the fruit punch the most. I just tried Cherry Limeaide and it is pretty good. I also recommend the lemonade one as well. I add two packets to a 1 liter bottle and can end up drinking two bottles of it and not even realize I'm drinking so much water. Enjoy!!

Has anyone tried Orville Reddenbacher Carmel popcorn cakes. Yumm

They have 40 calories per cake. They look like those tasteless rice cakes but are made from popcorn with carmel.

They fill me up.

Wow... got my order of veggie chips today and I really like them. I got them here:

Nuts & Dried fruit By The Pound, Gift Baskets, Gourmet Platters

They might need a bit of flavor for some of you, (dips, fake butter, Peanut Butter, etc.) but I really like them. It's a GREAT snack and I have to say, for as much as I got I am very satisfied with the price.

I got 2 lbs of veggie chips (one container is for a friend of mine) and a four pack of dried fruit. The blueberries and apples are GREAT! Haven't tried the peaches or pineapple yet.

I'm totally impressed. If you are looking to get veggies in and just plain don't like them or can only eat crunchy things, I suggest this stuff.

Go to the above link, click on dried fruits. Go to page two and veggies chips are the very last item.

I want to try the veggie chips, but I won't order anything online without first being able to read the nutrition facts and ingredient list.... I hate when they don't post those.:tired

Those bbq soy crisps are fabulous! I think I will go and have some right now.

They have Protein, and they are crunchy and go down well. They aren't nearly as many calories as rice cakes.

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
