Gold card member here to. Does the Protein change the way the drink taste? I really like the idea. Usually have a nonfat toffee nut latte Venti and that is my Breakfast. Not the best but if I add protein?

I have never had it in anything but their banana chocolate vivano drink so I dont know. I love it in that one though. You get a serving of fruit along with the protein and Calcium.< /p>

It kind of makes the drink better. I usually get a Chai Tea Latte with Soy Milk and the soy milk at Starbucks uses is vanilla flavored. I only add the vanilla flavored protein to the drink but I guess it would be just the same with the unflavored protein.

I usually do it for breakfast and that does hold me over until lunch.

I've gotten the Protein Powder added to my skinny vanilla lattes before - usually when I know I'm struggling to get my Protein in. It isn't real noticeable, but when I get to the bottom of the cup I run across some that didn't get dissolved. I prefer just my skinny vanilla latte, but find the further out from surgery I get the less I need that boost of protein, even from the milk. My doc is big on no caffeine, so I do the Decaf option. I'm not a big coffee drinker so I'm not missing them like I thought I would. However, after a fill when I'm on liquids.... I still enjoy :scared2:

Last week was the first time I had iced coffee from Starbucks. I was drinking iced coffee from McDonald pre-surgery and had stay away from but I was craving it so bad. Well--when I looked at the cal content--I don't feel bad. I usually get a Grande ice coffee with sugar-free hazelnut Syrup and a splash of nonfat milk. I will ask for the Protein now!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
