Iced Tea Dilema



Recommended Posts

This southern girl loves her iced tea. Which I used to make by boiling up a simple syrup( sugar ,water, Lipton) I've since switched to the Decaf and Splenda. Which is fine when the tea is pre made. Like the way they serve it up at restaurants. My problem is at home. It's not the same any suggestions

Just throwing this out there, wonder if an Ice tea maker might make a better brew. I know what you mean about making it at home. Or if you try another sweetener like the truvia.

I too am a southern girl who loves her sweet tea! I make my tea in a pot on the stove- old school lol, I put Splenda in the pitcher, not good at measuring, so somewhere btwn .5 & 1 in from bottom, then I pour the hot tea in & stir. Add some ice & cold Water to top it off. I make it all the time & everyone loves it, they don't even notice it's Splenda ;)

Nestea Zero. This is a Coke product. Probably not available south of the border tho. I'm pretty sure it's only available in Canada. I'm enjoying one right now.

I work for Nestlé. We have 3 brands of iced tea. Nestea, Sweet Leaf, and Tradewinds. They all have diet teas, though none are caffeine free. Tradewinds also has an unsweetened tea that you could sweeten with Splenda or liquid stevia to your liking.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
