Ok so I was up all night with a teething baby and I have to work today. I remember that I have a Starbucks gift card, so I look online for nutritional values, and decide to get a skinny iced vanilla latte. I order, get my coffee, and leave. Then I realized I used my debit card :/

I hope you enjoyed the latte! My favorite over the holidays was the skinny peppermint mocha. I sometimes have 1 latte a week, but sometimes it is more like 1 every 2 weeks. I make cappuccinos or regular cup of coffee at home with my Verismo almost every day. I do not think I could give up coffee just because I like it so much!

The coffee was delish and definitely woke me up! How is the Verismo? Does it just make Cappuccino? My hubby makes coffee at home and he needs a new coffee maker.

I've been a faithful Starbucks customer for years, almost daily. Haven't had Starbucks since sleeved. Another sacrifice for the cause I guess...

Verismo is the best purchase I made post op at $199 as it is really easy to make cappachinos, regular coffee and expresses. Literally two button presses. I love it! I could never be patient enough to make lattes with the older SB latte machine that my wife got 5-8 years ago. Too much skill required! Lol.

One suggestion I have is to also buy a good quality frother for the milk as you will save money by not buying the milk pods and will also make a much better cappuccino then using the built in milk frothing function of the verismo. SB also does not sell non fat milk pods to use with the Verismo (why?!?!). That is the main reason I spent about $50 on a frother off of Amazon.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
