I wanted any suggestions. I'm a big soda drinker and I can only drink so much plain Water I was looking for teas that are natural and taste good. I was looking at skinny bunny tea or the republic of teas . Have anyone try any of these or is there a kind you prefer?

You can buy one of each of a few brands and set up a taste test for yourself. What appeals to another person's tastebuds may make yours go on strike or vice versa.

I love raspberry- hibiscus by Stash. It's absolutely delicious, slightly sweet and slightly tart. I drink it by the gallon.

Buy samplers! This is the best way to try new teas. If you hate it, you only have a couple bags instead of a whole box. Numi teas has a really nice box that I'm working my way through now.

The Stash holiday teas right now are good.

If you're going to try Republic of Tea, try the ginger peach. They also have some nice holiday teas.

Stash has a nice mixed fruit box, I am a huge lover of teas. You can let a few bags soak overnight and have ready for next day (cold brew). The berry combo is good. LOVE the ginger peach by Republic! If you are a beginner, you might start with flavors you would like think whether vanilla, chocolate, berries, and then read sights like Bigelow. Best to try herbals or non caffeine.

See the republic has ones have like get charged and get clean. They have no caffeine but give you a natural boost. Right now I'm drinking click o espresso which is like a Meal Replacement but has lots of caffeine.

I hated Water wouldn't drink it at all. But now I can't get enough of it. Don't be surprised if your taste doesn't change.

I used to manage and open Teavanas. What are you interested in? There's all kinds.

I want something healthy but still has good taste. I like fruit. I saw a chocolate ones.
Any of their fruit herbals/rooibos are caffeine free and quite tasty - like juice when iced. Chocolate won't taste as good as it sounds/smells in store (like watery cocoa). Oolong tea helps with digestion if you drink it regularly (2x/day). It has a bit more caffeine, but still low.

I'd try a sampler kit. There should be plenty given the Holidays. You won't get any health benefit from bagged tea (but it won't hurt you either)

Happy to answer any other questions! Best wishes!

I love republic of tea! They have lots of rooibos based teas that are naturally caffeine free! As well as some other herbal teas - I'm enjoying a cup of cranberry spice hibiscus right now.

Harney and Sons is also a great source for really good teas.

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
