I used to be a Starbucks regular.

I loved coffee. I loved Mochas. LOVELOVELOVE. I tried a Decaf iced coffee there last week and it was BAD. I thought it was just a fluke. Maybe it was just too strong. I hadn't had coffee of any kind for over 2 months.

I tried a lighter tasting blend here at home this morning. Bad. Just awful.

Most of my tastes had changed, everything tasted off and just wrong.

Everything has gotten back to normal for the most part.

I used to love coffee. Now I feel like the nine year old kid who begged her mom to let her have coffee and finally got it and it was awful!

Of course I would normally have full fat half and half and now it's fat free and I know that is a big issue....

Oh goodness.....

Well luckily I don't like PSL. Unluckily, I also don't like the Protein drinks either!

The pumpkin spice coffee at Dunkin Donuts has 34 grams of sugar for a medium coffee and 160 calories. I only made the mistake of ordering it one time. Was too scared to even drink it for fear of dumping! Lol! Dangit! I love pumpkin spice!

I think everything I used to drink had 5 billion sugars. There is no way I could drink it right now, or I would be too afraid to, anyway.

My surgery was in March and I hated garlic until July. I'm part Italian and used to use a lot of garlic. Your tastes change but my body was clearly trying to help me. I had bad acid reflux so garlic and onions would be stupid. I like garlic now (6 months out). I'm still careful with it. You might find that you'll like it again. I was off coffee for months and had much more energy. It doesn't taste the same to me, either.

I never use to like Starbucks, but I became hooked on the unsweetened iced coffee with skim milk. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!! The only thing I hate is that it does have some calories, but it gives me that extra jolt of energy I need.

      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
