I am four months out. No bread, rice, sweets-thus far. My question is do you consider this a bad choice as a once in a while treat? The sugar is not a concern for me as I take in tiny amounts of it. Calories are 110 for the tall and 130 for the grande.

My surgeon has a strict rule about not drinking calories. We can't have anything that has more than 15 calories for 8 oz. (that includes diet hot chocolate now that I am on solids...boo). So I probably wouldn't have this while I'm in weight loss mode--maybe once in maintenance.

It's hard when you have something you love and then you can't. Have you thought about trying to make a protein drink version? Fool around with SF syrups and Starbucks via or brewed espresso, fat free milk, protein powder (unflavored or vanilla Unjury are my faves), ice and your bullet or Ninja. I make myself a protein NF iced latte every morning and I'm 11 months out and 90 lbs down. Good luck with whatever way you go. You can do this!

Great idea! I really like the Chike Iced coffee Protein drinks...I bet they'd make a really good "frappucino" type of drink!

I am a true believer not to drink ur calories. However since surgery I cannot go a morning w/out my daily Starbucks decafe mocha, no whip soy milk extra Hott.

I was going to reply yesterday about the calories that are in SB Fraps, but then thought about the calories that are in SB lite grande latte . It is still 100+ calories and I enjoy one of them a week, usually on the weekend. The lite Fraps are not that many more calories, but the only thing I can say is that there are not that many nutritional benefits from Fraps like strawberry, vanilla or chocolate. Coffee at least gives you caffiene to help with short term memory, stimulation in the morning and other benefits from coffee bean itself. Not really a strong argument, so I would say a lite Frap would be ok once a week or once every 2 weeks.

Yeah that Chike Iced Coffee is good! I just got a sample variety box of the Fit Frappe and I like the taste of the Chike better.

Thanks for your replies. Just looking for a liquid treat I can have every once in a while without throwing all my hard work out the window.

I tried one of the Fit Frappes yesterday and it wound up getting really thick - and I think it is what wound up upsetting my tummy last night...going to stick with Chike.
