Before I had the gastric bypass I was a real juice-a-holic. Orange juice, or grapefruit juice were my drinks of choice, and I would be lying if I told you that I didn't miss them terribly!
Ever since the surgery, I have been lost on what I can drink, and I have been in constant search for something that is both delicious AND healthy! I have bad reactions to artificial sweeteners, so the diet juices are not an option for me. Unfortunately I am not a tea person, so that's not really an option either. See my problem?
I have been living off of water, coffee, and the occasional cup of hot broth, and if I find myself really craving juice I mix it 50/50 with water (but even that is rare.)
I still drink wine socially, every now and then, but alcohol seems to be a controversial topic among the weightloss surgeons. If you're going to have an adult beverage, please make sure that its ok with your doctor first, and be ready for it to impact you faster than it would have before surgery.
I'm mainly looking for suggestions for drinks that are healthy that can be ordered out at a restaurant. I'm sooo tired of just ordering water, and if anyone has any other ideas I would greatly appreciate them.
I'm still continuing the search in the mean time, and I'll make sure to post about it and let you guys know if I happen to find that magical, yummy, healthy drink!
