So I know sugar free is the ticket but are there any other southern boys and girls out there that would kill for a glass of sweet iced tea. Can I ever have this again if so when. I'm 16 days post op

I'm 17 days out and live in Texas so I understand the longing for that good ole sweet tea. At about a week post op, I had it once when we were out. We stopped by chicken Express...there sweet tea is the best...of course, there was nothing I could have except liquid. So I chose sweet tea. I didn't feel guilty because I was barely getting 400-500 calories a day. Also, I couldn't drink but maybe 5-8 oz. and that took me half a day. One more thing, my taste buds have changed and it just didn't taste as awesome as it use to. It was okay but Water would have been fine. Who knows, maybe when you try it, your taste buds will be turned off too.

I Love me some sweet tea! I live in San Antonio and it is served at almost every restaurant or fast food chain. I am 5 1/2 months post op and I treat myself to one glass of sweet tea a week. The rest of the times I drink it , I use splenda.

I usually drink it once a week- so good lol. I've also got into the habit of buying Lipton Decaf green tea and make a gallon at home, I usually add a little sugar to it or splenda- its soooo good and alot healthier than sweet tea, but nothing beats sweet tea!!! LOL

Lyndy! So glad you can still enjoy it!!!! As you say, it can be a rare treat. My taste changed! I never was a big sweet person but now, just talking about sweet things sends my stomach into cartwheels!!! How strange, huh? Maybe it will change as I go forward. I am only 5 weeks out.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
