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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
