You're rude.

Done here.

hmmm... and you weren't being rude a few posts ago when you advised to get the facts straight?

I made quite a bold statement against Starbucks and just wanted to explain why I said it.....in no way do I think that others shouldn't drink Starbucks...its my personal thing..I am not sorry I feel that way.

This is a forum and forums are to post people's opinions. Last time I checked I am a person. (sounds rude, didn't mean it too, couldn't think of another way to say it) And yes, this forum was about Starbucks and no other company...that was not a rude thing to say.

I am sorry if you were personally offended that I don't like Starbucks...but I won't apologize for not liking them.

I love my coffee! I roast my own Beans and I have an espresso machine to make my own Iced mochas which is extremley cheap! I use non fat milk and 1 tablespoon of hershey's chocolate. you can buy the flavorings just about anywhere now, just moved to east TN (1906, I think is the yr here) from Seattle. Couldn't find ANYWHERE for coffee except Starbucks, :mad: and they are 25 miles from my house. So once again I had to take matters into my own hands, just like my surgery (insurance co. refused). Seems to be a trend in my life?:(

Call me a tight a$$, I just can't bring myself to pay that price for a cup of coffee. Plus, I'm so intimidated by all the fancy names and the types of coffee, yikes, how do you know what to chose?

I had a girl working for me and every morning she would walk in at least 8-10 minutes late, yep you guessed it, always had time to get that Starbucks coffee, yet she always claimed poverty, never had a dime to her name, go figure, LOL.

two of my daughters are baristas at coffee stands in Wa state. They know how to whip out those *&&^%%*(_)^%$# drinks that people order! I guess I am just simple, they don't drink starbucks at all. No one in Seattle really does, their coffee tastes burnt to me. I know I should be drinking sf chocolate, but the small amount I put in there only has 50 calories and with the NF milk, (my dairy for the day) it's maybe 125 cal.

My first post...yippie.

I love Starbucks. I've tried other iced coffees but I always go back to theirs. The closest Starbucks is over an hour - so it is a real treat when I do get one. I get the coffee light frap w/out whip - I believe it is around 1 gram of fat. I realize once I have the band done I won't be drinking the Starbucks ones - to much sugar. Thanks for the recipe - it sounds great.

      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.
