Warm Tea With Splenda!

This has been a God send for me today... Day 4 post op. Seems to calm my belly from rumbling and is also soothing compared to Water or anything cold. Maybe this will help someone else out in their post op process... Sure would have loved this info on day 2 an 3 ;p

Even better is warm some apple juice and fruit punch then put in a tea bag and let steep. Gets rid of gas well.

Try adding a little sf Creamer to your hot tea! It is awesome. Filling and no calories. I use Decaf Earl Grey.

I will try the Earl Gray and the juice concoction! I am excited as I feel a while lot better since getting some Fluid in me! I am scared I was on the verge of dehydration

Earl grey tea is awesome. I love it. The juice and tea taste good too.

Careful with tea... caffeine can dehydrate you. Try Decaf ginger tea too!

That was a good thing about tea too, you can get 8oz down pretty easy.

I like Earl Gray, but drink Chai tea most the time. Reminds me of Christmas.lol

Vanessa I'm 2 weeks from surgery and getting antsy about what I'll drink. This is very helpful.

Although tea is a natural diuretic, it was a God send today! I feel like a new person! With 5 kids, I can't be lethargic or "down and out" too long I will take my blessings, however small they may be, and count them 1 by 1... And today that blessing was in the form of TEA!! Lol

Thanks for the tip. I'm 2 1/2 weeks pre-op. I will remember this!

[Maddysgram 6,159]

The Chai tea I drink is decaffeinated .

You do want to watch that right after surgery.

[SueBee01 630]

You need to watch the caffeine all the time. It dehydrates you so you have to drink extra Water if you drink any type of caffeine. That is why I stay away from caffeine all together. I only drink Decaf tea.

I wish I could have warm tea..I'm only allowed room temp liquids for 3weeks post op

[SueBee01 630]

It is still good if you let it cool off! Sometimes you just need a different flavor!
