Well, I only have one drink right now that feels refreshing--iced Passion Tango herbal tea from Starbucks w/ a couple of Splenda. I really miss Diet Ginger Ale--it was the only soda j drank. Does anyone have a really cold & refreshing drink recommendation??

Try infusing Water with fruits and herbs.

Some options:

Cucumber

Apple and ginger

Pear and ginger

Lemon

I also love herb infusions (aka herb tea). I like iced green tea with mint.

I second this - if you have a wide-mouth bottle or pitcher, thin slice a lemon or a lime or an orange (lemon is a good one to try first!) and mix it up with bulk spring Water and let steep in the fridge for at least a few hours. You get not only the flavor from the juice of the fruit flesh, but also the more subtle flavors coming from the citrus zest - e.g. lemon oils.

Diet Snapple K-cups..........lemonade tea version.

Grab a large cup and fill with ice.....put it in the Keurig and drop in one of these K-cups and let the magic happen.

Calorie free and full of excellent flavor.

Crystal Light Ice Tea! I find full strength is too sweet, so I Water it down by making a 2-quart packet in a 3-quart jug and keep keep one jug at work and one at home. Then I bought 24-oz Tervis tumblers (plus handles) for home and work, and drink at least three tumblers of the tea every day – one between Breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner, and one in the evening. Very refreshing, and that alone is 72 ounces of Fluid. Any other fluids like coffee, hot tea, or cocoa are gravy. And if I count my Protein shakes as fluids, I get about 120 ounces of fluids per day. Been doing this for over 18 months, and I never get tired of it!

      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.
