Has anyone done this? :) And did you know what type of Protein it was?

I just realized the Protein powder would be from the smoothies they make at some locations. It's whey protein: http://www.starbucks...control=product

I did also see they had a link for drinks under 200 calories: http://www.starbucks.com/menu/nutrition/20-under-200

I order a tall veranda blend with room for cream, put skim in it and two splenda and I'm good to go.

Something about asking for a tall blonde with room for cream is very satisfying... Just saying.

Mark, that's what I got yesterday! A tall blonde with skim milk and sugar free vanilla Syrup and 2 splendas....was very satisfying, and cheaper than the espresso drinks. Sounds sort of like a foreign language, doesn't it?!

I get a skinny latte almost everyday, I think they are replacing some of my old sweet cravings.

Yes they have Protein powder. They put it in their vivanos with starwberry, banana etc. it's still 300 calories for the smoothies,,it's about 20 gms of Protein. Problem is, the fruits add a lot of sugar.

Not all Starbucks make them (the airport ones don't for example) but most stand-alone stores do.

Interestingly those "protein" boxes? Check out the carbs in that. Quite high. I've pored over the Starbucks menu heavily because often, when in traveling that's the only reliable meal source. But I'd accepted even way before the surgery, that I could never eat there.

I used to have an iced grande soy latte, but on low carb, that's not practical. So I switched to an Americano with half the Water and a tiny bit of half n half. Full of taste and flavor, no calories.

It's esay enough to toss the crackers. This is a great on the go option in my book. :)

I may have to try it. Some of the airports I go through, the options are beer, wings, or hamburgers. :)

        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.

      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
