[Guest guest]

interesting !!.. and thanks for the recipe.. It never occured to me to

make a dry mix in advance. I ususally make just enough for one cup at a

time. Great idea.

Your welcome!

I really try to stay away from all " pre packaged " foods.

Not only is this cost effective.. you know what you are eating/drinking.

I sometimes add just a drop or 2 of cream... for that " special " treat!

Over the weekend I am going to make my own Sugar Free Jam using Splenda.. and

can it.

I want to make Sugar Free " Thumbprint " cookies with the Strawberry Jam filling

so I can take cookies to New Years Eve and have 1 or 2.

I have a couple of WLS friends whom I will make guinea pigs.. They all hate the

SF Jelly with Nutrasweet.

if I'm not mistaken.... coffee is an insuline releaser and I know regarding

me... that is part of the problem with coffee. I too limit my intake to once

small cup in the morning.

Pam, good question. I was just thinking the same thing. I was told to stay

away from it, but I'm not sure why.

[Guest guest]

cocoa does have some caffeine in it.. as does the store bought packages.

I drink 1 cup of caffeine coffee every night.. but that is also followed by 8-10

oz of water.

I also take Prilosec 2x daily per my surgeon.

He said 1 cup a day was okay.

There is a coffee named KAVA that is 90% acid reduced - I drink it all the time

and I too have Acid Reflux and this coffee does not bother me one bit - just a

thought ;-)

Good, we have 2 votes from the docs to limit caffeine to 1 cup a day. Does

anyone know the reason to not have caffeine? I drink decaf coffee, 1 cup in

the a.m. and also decaf tea, so an occasional hot cocoa shouldn't be a

problem.

Ulcers!

Excessive caffeine can cause ulcers.

Since our new " tummys " can be prone to ulcers... less caffeine.

I am not sure Joan. I thought it had something to do with coffee being a

diuretic and depleting your water??????

But I often get these things mixed up.

I guess I spoke too soon. That is what the doctor told me. It can cause

ulcers. But if you do drink it you are supposed to increase your daily

water intake by at least the same amount right?
