I had surgery on 2/20/13 and have had a green tea latter once since then when my work did a group order. It was good and went down fine and I assume was legal / caffeine free but was about 300 calories so I haven't been willing to devote that many calories to non food since then

I tend to view most of what is available at Starbucks as being hot milk shakes :-)

If I had to have something there I would go for a long black!

Starbucks are to coffee what Macdonalds is to beef.

Decaf tea or decaf coffee. You could do the "milkshakes" but no sugar and non fat and your still using a lot of calories

NOTHING! I've gone thru their menu with a fine toothed comb. Ugh! I would suggest getting a Decaf coffee black drink in the morning (made at home), ice, unsweetened almond or soy milk, stevia to sweeten, and if u want an extra kick, you can also add in some sugar free hazelnut Syrup. That way, you get your Protein, your

"Coffee" (even tho it's decaf) and its low sugar :)

Just get a tea. I get their vanilla rooibos and sometimes add a dash of skim milk or just as is with a packet of honey.

You can also get a nonfat sugar free latte for about 110 cals for a small. Worth it if you're out with friends and want a treat

I'm still pre op but I think when post op and okayed to have caffeine I would get something iced...therefore if I dont finish it it can still go in the fridge for later, I dont think Starbucks reheats well. I'm gonna be so sad giving up my lime refreshers. Also I think I'm gonna enjoy my last day of frappy hour (frappicino happy hour) today.

I'm a big fan of the tall decaf nonfat latte. Have one every day. I love them and the 10g of Protein helps me meet my daily goals.

When I go I will order a tall skinny Cappuccino. I don't get Decaf unless it's in the afternoon. My surgeon and NUT are ok with small amounts of caffeine as long as I am not having an issue getting my Water in.

Also, if you need a quick easy Breakfast, look for their spinach and feta Breakfast wrap. I open up the wrap and have the inside. Great Protein and so yummy. If, I recall correctly, almost 20 grams of Protein. It's one of the few things there that are quite nutritious.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
