I use whole milk and sugar. I am of the belief that low fat is not healthy.

How about some vanilla extract in the coffee?? About a 1/4 teaspoon.

As a Brit in the US thats exactly how I use liptons and red rose - in the end I reverted back to good old PG tips via online shopping.

I don't drink coffee often, so when I do, I want to really enjoy it. Three little words...Sweetened Condensed Milk!!!!!

You are right about there being so many flavors of tea (including green tea). Republic of Tea makes a wonderful honey lemon green tea as well as so many more. I like coffee too but drink only one cup a day. I use DaVinci's French vanilla flavoring in mine, no milk.
I do use stevia in my tea for sweetening.

For my tea ... I like it black and the stronger the better, so no help there for the add-ins.
There's always lots of herbal and other sorts of teas which can give you oh so much flavour, and not be a regular plain black tea. Again, I don't add to those either.

I love Constant Comment tea and haven partially converted my coffee drinking husband. Don't forget that coffee drinkers are less likely to get Alzheimer's disease. I personally can only drink coffee if it doesn't taste like coffee so what's the point? I use Splenda to sweeten but have tried recently Blue Agave. BTW that is terrific to use on pancakes and waffles instead of syrup.

But it could be just that the surgery causes you to lose all hunger for a while, sometimes forever, due to the very reduced stomach hunger hormone grenalin. I am also no longer diabetic and off all blood pressure meds. Weight loss is now 61 pounds but I lost 40 before the surgery in late January, not to even mention that I feel 20 years younger!
