Starbucks On Week 2 Post Op



Recommended Posts

It was my understanding that ordering a "skinny" means nonfat and sugar free. Otherwise it would be a nonfat latte or sugar free latte. Combine the two and you have a skinny.

The best way to know is to download the starbucks app, skinny does not mean sugar free you do have to tell them sugar free :)

It absolutely does not. Skinny means sugar free and fat free milk without whip.

I'd like to thank our resident barista for clarifying. :P

But it really doesn't. If it just meant nonfat then it would be "nonfat" not skinny. Just because some barista's are dumb and forget doesn't mean that Starbucks standard isn't skinny=sf&nf. Maybe the confusion is "light"? If you ask for a light frappacino it does NOT cover sugar free, just nf milk and light base and no whip, so you do.have to specify sf for that. Really, I promise, skinny DOES mean sugar free and non fat.

Could you clarify this because I have the Starbucks app and all the app does is allow you to use your Starbucks card barcode, show locations and play with your acount. No where on there does it explain what the drinks are.

This is what my app looks like , example of one of the drinks, you can change the sizes of the drink and the information changes a lil. I love this app, I remember thinking Starbucks coffee was too strong , now after surgery I'm there everyday the already know what I want :)

can we all agree that I'm right now?

Are we talking about the Syrup or the drink itself?yes the syrup sugar free. But the drink itself does contain sugar. Not as much as the other drinks but does contain less than 20 mg.

Well yeah, milk has sugar. You can't avoid that.

You will never get a sugar free drink if it has milk- physically impossible.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
