Any suggestions on a good tea????



Recommended Posts

Does anybody have a good tea suggestion? Lately I notice that I been drinking a lot of coffee. I started with 1 cup a day and I'm up to 4 cups a day which I know is too many! I been using fair life fat free milk instead of the Creamer but I don't like that I been using way too many Splenda packets to sweetened my coffee. I'm open to hear everyone's suggestions, I'm not a picky person.

What kind of tea depends greatly on your personal tastes. Here are some of mine:

I like hibiscus tea because I like sweet, tart things. You could also use your fairlife to cook a good chai from scratch on the stovetop, that would be amazing, see this for all the options: http://www.crunchybetty.com/the-epic-guide-to-making-your-own-chai-tea (just keep the sugar content low).

If you like a calmer, relaxing tea, there are a variety of mints. Peppermints are good for nausea.

Jasmine is one of my favorites because it is good for digestion and easy to drink.


You can always buy a variety pack and enjoy exploring all the different flavors!

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger

2 Tablespoons peeled and grated fresh tumeric

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups Water

1 cup artificial sweetener

Bring to boil and simmer at least five minutes.

Turn off heat and add 6 green tea bags.

Let that steep about 20 minutes.

Now you have an awesome concentrate that you can use to make 4-6 servings of tea.

If you look up the benefits of the first four ingredients, you will be amazed at how healthy it is.

That's good, because it does have a lot of sweetener in it, even though you do divide it out.

I always though green tea tasted like dirty feet, but I can actually enjoy it made this way.

I have been drinking Bamboo tea recently. It supposedly is high in silica which helps skin, hair, and nails. Tastes decent and helps my Hair loss and dryness all in one!

For easy to find tea, I really like the following varieties from Twinings: Darjeeling, Earl Grey, Green, and Green with Jasmine.

I absolutely love most of the teas from Teavana (http://teavana.com/). They can be a bit pricey, but the teas are absolutely phenomenal. You can find them in quite a few malls, and if there isn't a retail store near you, then you can order online. I really recommend trying the winterberry blend!

Harney and Sons has wonderful teas!

I drink their citrus tea daily with lemon.

Their Paris tea is wonderful with a touch of Splenda.

Two of my favorites!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
