I am a year out and still can't drink straight water.

1. Iced tea sweetened with sweet-n-low and a squirt of Agava Nectar (which is natural, as if eating fruit, and has a lower glycemic index) this way it tastes like normal sweet tea, I do limit this though since it does have the nectar in it. If I'd had too many calories, I just use sweet-n-low.

Or hot or cold flavored teas that I can add Equal or sweet-n-low. Also, SF hot apple cidar.

2. Coffee with sweet-n-low and add tons of powdered milk for protein (Tastes like Starbucks) Or I just buy Starbucks (SF Vanilla Latte) and I add Splenda, but you could use Equal.

3. Koolaid with sweet-n-low. I make it by the half gallon and use either 11 packs or 11 scoops, depending on how I buy the sweet-n-low.

4. Lemonade, made with water, real lemons, and Equal. I make it by the glass and it tastes better to me.

There are tons of ways around the Splenda thing. I don't really understand about no Splenda. I drink it and I have not died yet. lol I think if I were you, I'd be asking why I can't have it. I would want an explanation. If you find out why, I'd be interested to know. Maybe there is something I don't know about, but need to learn. Oh....and WELCOME TO THE FORUM FAMILY!
