Nice!! I donโ€™t have the whisk so I just throw it in the blender. But yours is so much prettier ๐Ÿฅฐ

OMG, I feel right at home in this thread.

I drink tea most of my day. I primarily drink green tea, flavored green tea, or green tea blended with an herbal. I avoid black tea due to caffeine content but will enjoy oolong if I need a boost. I keep pu erh on hand and have a blend of pu erh with chrysanthemum. I have tried ayurvedic spice tea blends and like them. I've even made my own ginger tea from fresh ginger. I prefer loose teas in an infuser but will tolerate bagged tea for convenience while traveling.
I generally drink my tea unsweetened, although if I feel like I need an immune system boost I'll put a little raw honey in it.
I love tea and I consider myself a bit of a connoisseur.

I like that chart Green Tealael, think I'll go brew me some Ginger Tea,ate myself some Cheerios this AM , stayed down but Precious Pouch feels crabby, don't want to feed her again. According to N.P. my stoma should be letting some foods through but it feels like it's still sitting there. If I upchuck, I guess I'll know, won't I?

Iโ€™ve been meaning to try matcha!

My favorite teas at the moment are chocolate mint rooibos, simple mint teas, and lady grey. I mostly took my current job because we have an instant hot Water thingy! Tea all day for me.

I was actually pretty major into coffee (I live in OR, itโ€™s a law here) but canโ€™t drink it unsweetened. My program requires that we not drink our calories, so that was the first thing I gave up. Teas SAVED me, and made the transition away from coffee pretty easy.

Oh great thread! I'd forgotten about it!

I just had matcha kefir. Oh yes she did! ;) Unorthodox? Perhaps, but as delish as the matcha yogurt I'm now addicted to...ahem, yeah that's you little missy. You know who you are!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card ๐Ÿ 
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours ๐Ÿ˜Žย and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, itโ€™s so bad Iโ€™m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. Iโ€™m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily,ย including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well. ย I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening. ย So far as of Jan 1st Iโ€™ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this?? ย Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.ย

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
