Since most surgeons don't recommend caffeine I would double shot ice Water lol

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 usually get a tall Decaf nonfat latte. 10 g of Protein from the milk. :)

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.

      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.
