Who Else Has Become A Pain In The Butt At Starbucks!?

I'm always the one ordering a passion fruit iced tea with no sweetener. I get the "I know, I know...no sweetener". LOL

HAHA me too KZ! Or I get a half pump of sf vanilla Syrup

So the next thing we need to do everybody, is agitate for Starbucks to carry a Protein shake! A real one, with low sugars and >10g carbs. The Army version of Starbucks, Green Beans, has one and it is great.

I was sleeved on Friday. I've been working from home. I have a stressful job. I decided that I felt good enough to go in, today. I haven't taken any of the good medicine since yesterday. The liquid Lortab makes me have dreams that I am in a Harry Potter movie, but I digress...

Anyway, I had to laugh today because on my way home from work I wanted something new to drink. I have been trying to add milk and Protein Shakes, but I'm having some "issues" with milk. So, I decided to be one of "those people." You know, those pain in the rear Starbuckians who request everything from the amount of foam, to the room in the cup, to the pumps of Syrup in their latte. I went to Starbucks and actually ordered a tall, sugar free Decaf soy vanilla latte. It's heaven (and completely on my diet plan, so don't make any smart comments about "listening to my doctor.") I may do this more often. I just felt like I had to apologize. I may not feel so weird making special orders when I am thin, but I feel as though a fat person being a pain in the rear regarding food is not good. I'm always trying to blend in or be extra nice so that people will like me even though I look like this. Has anyone else had a similar experience in their first days post sleeve? We don't want to draw attention to ourselves and what we eat because we're still fat, but we want to be able to socialize and be with friends in a restaurant enviornment....

I've always been a pain in the butt, so it's nothing new when I tell them to please don't brush my shrimp with butter!!! I'm laughing, Star Bucks is one of my favorite. I just drink coffee or iced coffee, black tea occasionally. The kids know what I want during the summer.....a tall iced coffee in a grande cup with extra ice, no syrup or milk. I add my Stivia myself. I walk in and one of the girls will ask "Your regular?" LOL

      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.
