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!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
