Green Tea
I have had some trouble since WLS in drinking plain water but I have now discovered diet green tea. It comes in 20 oz bottles and I have no trouble drinking 3 or 4 of these a day. Do you think this is okay? Do you think there are any added benefits of green tea? I seem to remember something about it a while ago but I don't remember exactly what it was. Any advice would be great.

I had the same problems drinking plain water early on. I drank a lot of decaf green tea and decaf regular tea. I have had the teas you are talking about. But most of the time I just drank brewed tea at home. Now, I was told it counted towards my water intake as long is it was caffeine and calorie free. So, I think you are ok. I don't remember if green tea is naturally decaffeinated....hmmmm. For myself, I try to avoid caffeine. I know there are certain claims to the benefits of green tea, but like you, I can't remember them right now...LOL!
Good luck.

Prudy, what you need to watch is that if it's caffeinated - caffeine is an appetite stimulate. Also, caffeine can dehydrate you. Have you the Talking Rain or Fruit 2 O drinks? Both are flavored water with the Talking Rain having 1% juice - no carbs and tastes like juice. You can get both from Sams.... although the Fruit 2 O can be bought everywhere.

Anything that works is good in moderation, right? Some people can handle green tea and some can't for some reason. Since you can it's a good thing,,,, in moderation. We have very delicate balances as GAPs and we need to monitor them all the time. Since I don't know the make up of green tea is there something that you might be getting to much of or not enough of as a result your takin' a likin' to the green tea?
Let people (us) know what your research finds.
