Any Starbuck suggestions? I'm starting to miss it and I don't want anything super high in calories or high in sugar. I could just ask the barista also. I rather know what you guys are drinking.

Tall Decaf Americano with half and half, 1 splenda and a dash of cinnamon. I guesstimate I add about 2 T. half n half, which makes the coffee 40 calories. I don't drink it every day, perhaps twice a week. I couldn't drink any coffee for 2-3 months post-op. I'm glad to be back at my favorite happy place! :)

My go to is a tall Decaf skinny mocha latte. 110 calories and 11 g Protein. I don't have them often so it is a real treat when I get one.

My fave especially as weather warms up is Skinny (or "Light") coffee flavored Frappucino =110 calories, no fat. -- Decaf these days!

A short NF latte with SF hazelnut is great too for my hot drink - again decaf. With great coffee you can't much tell the difference I find.

I've heard of people ordering the iced passion tea unsweetened. You can add Splenda or something. Thinking of trying that soon :)

I couldn't drink this right after surgery because a few sips made me super sick, but at 7 months I now occassionally have a tall skinny caramel machiatto. It has something like 110 calories and it's a nice treat.

I wouldn't go with any of their pre-mixed drinks...they are loadeddddd with sugar! My best friend is a barista at Starbucks..that's how I know that. If you're going to have them anyway, just be careful. And make sure if it is a sweet drink such as a chai or skinny frap, ask them to add a scoop of Protein into and you can make that a Breakfast :) and also stay with a tall for the sweet drinks...they're 12 oz...for a hot coffee/chai, ask for a short ( they don't suggest that size on their menu because they're greedy and want you to buy a tall + ) I hope this helps you! PS, you can always ask if it comes in sugar free or if they can use a sugar free Syrup :) you don't want to sabotage the hard work your surgeon did to make this weightloss process possible for you! Keep up the good work ????

I used to be a tall, 5 pump vanilla latte fiend five days a week. Now I go for a skinny, 2 pump vanilla latte which I only drink 4 - 6 oz of once a week. Then I toss the rest away. At first I felt guilty for wasting the food, but then I realized I would rather waste a little money then drink the extra calories for the sake of a saving a buck.

Any of the brewed teas have zero calories, so my go to is iced passion tea, sometimes I add a stevia packet that I have in my purse, others plan is just right. Be careful about the half tea half lemonade, it has sugar...

If you need a chai tea Latte be sure to order it "brewed", otherwise it is a pre sweetened mix loaded with carbs.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
