I had surgery on 2/20/13 and have had a green tea latter once since then when my work did a group order. It was good and went down fine and I assume was legal / caffeine free but was about 300 calories so I haven't been willing to devote that many calories to non food since then

I tend to view most of what is available at Starbucks as being hot milk shakes :-)

If I had to have something there I would go for a long black!

Starbucks are to coffee what Macdonalds is to beef.

Decaf tea or decaf coffee. You could do the "milkshakes" but no sugar and non fat and your still using a lot of calories

NOTHING! I've gone thru their menu with a fine toothed comb. Ugh! I would suggest getting a Decaf coffee black drink in the morning (made at home), ice, unsweetened almond or soy milk, stevia to sweeten, and if u want an extra kick, you can also add in some sugar free hazelnut Syrup. That way, you get your Protein, your

"Coffee" (even tho it's decaf) and its low sugar :)

Just get a tea. I get their vanilla rooibos and sometimes add a dash of skim milk or just as is with a packet of honey.

You can also get a nonfat sugar free latte for about 110 cals for a small. Worth it if you're out with friends and want a treat

I'm still pre op but I think when post op and okayed to have caffeine I would get something iced...therefore if I dont finish it it can still go in the fridge for later, I dont think Starbucks reheats well. I'm gonna be so sad giving up my lime refreshers. Also I think I'm gonna enjoy my last day of frappy hour (frappicino happy hour) today.

I'm a big fan of the tall decaf nonfat latte. Have one every day. I love them and the 10g of Protein helps me meet my daily goals.

When I go I will order a tall skinny Cappuccino. I don't get Decaf unless it's in the afternoon. My surgeon and NUT are ok with small amounts of caffeine as long as I am not having an issue getting my Water in.

Also, if you need a quick easy Breakfast, look for their spinach and feta Breakfast wrap. I open up the wrap and have the inside. Great Protein and so yummy. If, I recall correctly, almost 20 grams of Protein. It's one of the few things there that are quite nutritious.

      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.
