Starbucks On Week 2 Post Op

[Lebim 381]

Thank you Kaylee Ann! That was just the explaination I needed. I figured it was all that milk. I don't know what I was thinking ordering a venti anyway. I only made it halfway through that cup. At least it had a few grams of Protein in it.

Yeah milk has 8g of Protein per 8oz so if you can stomach it it's a great source of protein.

Maybe try an iced americano (espresso and Water, supposed to be the italian equivalent of our drip coffee) or iced coffee with cream and sf vanilla. A lot less milk and if you get the americano you get a lot more caffeine and it basically tastes like a latte. I can't drink lattes anymore so I do that. Right now I'm drinking a tall americano with 1 pump sf vanilla and 1 pump sf hazelnut with cream. Tasty

I have to stress the point cause them high school kids just put anything in it' date=' they look at you like your fat you mean you want sugar... I was so pissed when I had to take coffee back telling them they put sugar..

Well if you say skinny no Starbucks employee will assume because you're fat you're just kidding. We also have diabetics come in so it can be a life or death situation. Yes, you should definitely make sure they know you said "skinny" because we make the drinks so often without it being skinny that it's just a force of habit to put in the sugar filled flavor. Just double check as you would with any food or drink item that could make you sick

Iced americano's are actually my favorite but I figured the milk in the latte at least had some nutritional value. Kind of defeated the purpose not being able to drink it all. LOL

Do you use half and half? Seems like I have to use soooo much nonfat milk in my americano's it's just not the same. I MISS MY CREAM! Just a splash won't kill me, right? (sorry, I'm rationalizing to myself)

A splash I fine. Hell if I could stomach a latte I would, but after 4oz of milk my stomach starts attacking me

I personally love the lime refresher, a grande is only 50 calories. In the cool weather I will occasionally order a sugarfree mocha-a tall is 120 calories and one can always order tea and put in your own sugar and milk if desired. I don't worry much about caffiene as I am able to drink a ton of Water but if getting water is difficult for you avoid caffiene until it gets better. It won't be a forever thing.

New drink idea!

A tall banana chocolate smoothie made with nonfat milk and skinny mocha. It comes with a scoop of Protein which equals 10g/protein! I get it with 1/2 the banana though and not that much milk because the surgery made me lactose intolerant and milk now makes me gassy :|

Ok Lebim, I've got to ask... Do we have any pumpkin spice options?

Is it possible to get this with soy?

That's a good question. The pumpkin spice is my all time favorite.

I live 30 miles from the closet small town that has 1 Starbucks in a sm Target... I went in and asked what iced drink I could order that would be caffeine free, sugar free, and fat free... Her response... "Water". A few customers and I had a good laugh and I enjoyed a nice ice cold Water as I shopped. I am fighting an ulcer so I'll hold off on coffee for a while... But some days I sure do miss it.

Any Decaf iced skinny latte. We make it with nonfat milk and sugar free Syrup. That was very rude and incorrect of her
