Starbucks/ Panera Suggestions



Recommended Posts

I work at sbux and these posts are awesome and helpful! Matcha powder had green tea and sugar in it already. Go for nonfat or soy (although our soy has vanilla flavor and sweet), use SF syrups and please go for Decaf. I don't drink coffee but if I did I sip 2oz of decaf with cinnamon powder and 1 oz of soy milk. Fraps are made with coffee, whole milk, sugar base, ice and whatever Syrup like caramel or mocha, etc. If you want a frap order light those are made with coffee, nonfat milk, light sugar gum base, and any syrup you want preferably sugar free. I drink nonfat milk with Protein Powder at work. If I feel shaky I have a few sips of NF milk with one pump of chai, I gave up all the other syrups because it's not worth it for me. The rest of the day I drink Water. On days off and vacation time I order a trenta tea (passion and green tea with apple juice no sweetener added) instead of lemonade because the acid makes my tummy feel weird. The apple juice sweetens the tea without me needing to add any splenda. I love that tea <3 Definately recommend you all try it. I get 31oz cup because friends and family by now know I can't finish it and I swear I only get 8oz of my drink and the rest everyone else loves it lol

Yikes, frappucinos hurt my stomach! I get a non-fat latte w 1 pump sugar free peppermint, 1 pump sugar free mocha and 2 equals.

As for Panera, any salad is probably ok if you skip the croutons. And any Soup that is NOT creamy is good. I tried eating the baked potato one about 2-3 months out from surgery and I lterally got in 2 bites before feeling like I had a lump in my throat. Not to mention the fat content :X

i dont drink any kind of coffee but at Panera i eat the chicken noodle Soup, it has huge chunks of chicken. ALso the chicken or tuna salad with no bread. They are yummy and full of Protein. The chicken has almonds so be careful if you arent very far out.

I'm screwed with Sbux. :angry: My drink is a venti iced green tea latte, 1 pump, double matcha. I can give up the pump but their matcha is mixed with sugar so it's unavoidable. I've had 3 - 5 of those per week for the last 3 years so... this is gonna be an adjustment.

Sbux chicken sausage Breakfast wrap has 300 calories/14gm Protein. They have an egg white wrap too, IIRC.

Panera has a really good vegetarian black bean Soup (110 cal, 1g sat fat, 2.5g total fat, 980mg sodium, 18g carbs, 3g sugars, 3g Fiber, 6g protein). When banded I would get that and a half asiago roastbeef sandwich (350 cal, 7g sat fat, 13g total fat, 630mg sodium, 32g carbs, 2g sugars, 1g Fiber, 24g protein). Breakfast power sandwich (360 cal, 6g sat fat, 14g total fat, 860mg sodium, 36g carbs, 3g sugars, 4g fiber, 23g protein). You can easily skip the bread on anything above.

      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.
