I did sweet tea about 3 or 4 weeks out but with splenda. just be careful not to drink to many drinks with artifical sweetner, they can cause gas.

I would not recommend TRUE "sweet tea." You don't want to get in a habit of drinking your calories, but tea sweetened with something non-caloric, sure go for it! Truvia and other stevia based sweeteners are the safest from what I can tell. Stay AWAY from agave. (You'd be better off with regular sugar!) But you're an adult, so obviously you can choose your own sweetener LOL

MIO actually makes a sweet tea flavor which is pretty good! I know people are divided over MIO an wheather it's good for you but I think in moderation it's fine.

Please do not go to the dark side. Hate to sound discouraging but I want to warn you against letting back in old habits. You had surgery to lose weight, not to eat and drink junk in lower quanities. Have a friend who stopped losing due to drinking her calories. She questions why she isn't losing when all she has is protien shakes (she neglects to mention all of the drinks)

Sugar with loads of calories. Yikes. Find a reasonable substitute, Mio was a good suggestion. Try to find something that add nutritional value or liquid Vitamins with taste. You are eating / drinking to survive and lose weight right now. Once you hit goal, you can add in a few treats.

Best of luck and I hope your weight loss comes easy for you! Hugs.

Try some Vitamin zero Water or propel. Great flavor no calories!

Have u tried G2 Gatorade? I really like fruit punch. Yesterday I had diet tea 0 sugar it was pretty good. Just make sure it doesn't have sugar.

I think this really depends on what you mean "by sweet tea"

To me sweet tea is 1 gallon of tea & 3/4cup of sugar. To other people in my family it's more like 1gallon of tea & 1/2lb of sugar.

Lightly sweetened tea probably won't hurt anything in moderation. However if "southern style" is your preference then you probably need the artificial sweeteners.
