Home brewed Iced Tea sweetened with Stevia instead of artificial sweeteners. I also buy the premixed tea when I am feeling lazy, Turkey Hill brand diet green tea with Gensing and Honey isn't too bad...their other diet teas are too strong or too sweet IMO.

I have also developed the habit of drinking hot tea. Pre-band I never drank Hot drinks but I find that a cup of hot tea 30 minutes after each meal seems to relax my stomach.

I have a glass of milk with sugar free carnation instant Breakfast ( I can't stand plain milk), a cup of hot tea-with no sugar, but mainly I drink plain Water sometimes with a slice of lemon or lime added. Oh, yes, and I drink a beer 3 to 4 nights a week after work.

I found Lipton makes individuals packets you can add to your Water - in a lot of different flavors - and they do NOT contain aspartame - they are made with splenda. HINT - I also find that one packet in 32 oz of water is plenty sweet enough. They are difficult to find sometimes -- Target is where I get mine and they are with the coffee/teas NOT where the Crystal Lite and other drinks are located. We really like them. Also, my GNC carries Protein packets you can addd to water - you get Protein, plus the flavors are good. I don't use any of it regularly as I am one of those weird ones that actually likes drinking water.

I like Water with a wedge of lemon or lime but for a change of pace I have been making homemade fruit waters. Just plop a handful of frozen mixed berries, cherries, peaches, etc into a pitcher of water and let it sit in the fridge. :thumbup: You can also add orange slices or whatever else suits your fancy. Nice change of pace and healthy as I hate artificial sweeteners, they give me headaches.:rolleyes2:

Once in a while I like Life Water - the 0-calorie fuji apple pear one. It is refreshing, a nice change sometimes.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
