I am really wanting Starbucks but unsure of what I can have from there! B4 surgery I was drinking grande no whip mocha frap! I am not a big coffee drinker but love the taste of all the other kind! Any suggestions?

It's all about the Click! Click espresso protein powder, one serving is the equivalent of 2 shots of espresso but pure protein! Some Click, some good quality chocolate protein powder like Jay Robb or Tera's Whey, ice cubes, almond milk, some SF Torani syrup, maybe even some SF whip and cocoa for dusting, put it in one of those Starbucks cups made to look like their disposable to-go cups and nobody can tell the difference! Your tastebuds will not know the difference, yum! Make a couple of protein doughnuts from World According to Eggface and you are the cleverest person in 'bux! =D

I drink coffee with cream -gasp!- every single day. A big one! I use sf hazelnut & a sweet n low & look forward to it more than anything else I have all day! It hasn't slowed my losing at all & like the PP said, it works as a laxative for me. I always add it into myfitpal everyday to make sure I'm on track w/ everything else.

Oh yeah, forgot to add.....I also drink a muscle milk light rtd in vanilla latte. It's really, really good! I hate protein drinks but this one doesn't smell or taste like one. Try it!! So good! Side note: it does have caffeine.

Oh man, I wonder what a Muscle Milk lite combined with Vanilla Latte Click protein powder, with a dash of chai spice - iced, would taste like!!! OMG!!

I can't stand coffee, but I'm going to have to bid farewell (or at least very infrequent visits) to my Starbucks staple (iced green tea latte, no pumps double matcha -- or a close variant, depending on the day). Their matcha powder has sugar blended into it, so there's no way to avoid it.

I've "indulged" in a tall black iced tea, 1/4 Splenda. Oh boy.

Miss my GTL.

Sbux, if you're out there, please consider a SF version of your matcha powder. I will pay handsomely for it. TYVM.

I've been dreaming of a Starbuck's coffee...I go back to work next week after a month off. I had my surgery 4/6. I think I'm going to treat myself to a tall skinny mocha! Thanks for all the info my VSG friends! With the pre-op diet and since surgery I'm down 63 pounds!

I drink a venti skinny peppermint mocha 4-5 times a week and have since about 8 weeks post op.

You can have your mocha frap. Just have it with skim milk and no whipped cream also, have them add a scoop of protein powder. Excellent way to get what you want and the protein you need at the same time. Just dont have it everyday, 3 times a day. It's a treat you should enjoy in moderation.

Thank you all for the suggestions! I actually bought me Keurig today! I found a great flavor that I can live with n low in calories sugar n carbs!

What Keurig flavor did you get?

Sissies!

Triple expresso straight!

Some Spenda if you just can't take it!

I am soooo craving a coffee drink right now! Thanks for all the great ideas everyone!

I just get what ever I want from there but I don't drink it daily. or even monthly. My sleeve likes hot better than cold so I get something hot.

I'm 6 weeks out and finally had a Tall lite carmel Frape. It took me over an to drink but lots of water for the rest of the day! I felt a bit guilty though.
