I saw a lady on tv (had lap band) few years ago, she had gained her weight back. but drank her cals in skimmed coffee latte, I love a milky coffee, but I am now thinking twice, as I am not sure of cal content, she was sent for an exray and it was deemed she needed a fill, I do not want to drink my cals but they are so nice and fill me up for hrs,

Try almond milk

There is no way she gained her weight back just by drinking lattes? How many was she drinking a day? Maybe donuts washed down with the lattes?

DITTO......it's amazing how people can make excuses for their behavior....everyone knows why someone is obese.....

Also, I do not see how a band, once adjusted to it's maximum efficiency, can stop being a band!

When I hear stories like that, there is usually something not being told.

I do have light almond milk so will give that a go,thanks for the idea, I normally have a coffe at McDonald .... Nothing else, but I guess the question is how many skinny coffee drinks should i be having ??

Your body... I don't do caffeine. Ask your doctor or nutritionist.

My advise....

If you cut them out completely you will be miserable. Work one a day into your menu. I like wine and I drink wine every night, have since day one. I count the calories in my menu and stay around 1200 calories a day with my glass of wine. This is a life style change and not a diet (for me) and so I don't restrict myself from anything I truly enjoy. I just ask myself is it worth having today and if the answer is yes I have it. Simple as that (for me).

Good luck on your journey, do what works best for you to succeed.

Mst of the coffee I drink is instant or filter with. Dash of skim milk. But I make room for. Skinny latte most days - here they're 1/3 espresso, 2/3 steamed milk, and they come in cups, not buckets. Only 75 cl for a small skinny latte with no sugar, I don't see how tat could e a problem !

If you're going to a chain restaurant they have their calorie counts, in fact in the US it is now a law that they have to have the calorie counts. I would look up and see how many calories are in the drink that you want to have. I find if I find out how many calories something has that I often stop eating it. Even before I was banded I looked up how many calories was in the Chili's big bites hamburgers meal, I000 calories and 90 grams of fat. Ouch

I think you will find that the latte's have a lot more calories than you think.

Try sugar free. Coffee mates. They have 15 calories per tbls and 1 gram fat. I use two serving per cup and 3 cups decaf a day. They have extra cool flavors for the holidays. Peppermint mocha and pumpkin spice as well as others.
