I'm with you! Look on the site for them. It will let you see sugar counts and help you to order. I'll be honest I'm a coffee junkie and the no caffeine rule means nothing to me except to watch for dehydration....I'm drinking star bucks coffee as I type at home. As for frapps etc....that's a no to sugar but I know one can get skinny and sugar free just look it up or ask. My local store was happy to suggest sugar free items they offered. A sugar free skinny mocha coffee. I counted the milk in my calories for the day.

I'm not really counting calories as at the moment I'm not getting anywhere near my limit but I am watching for things like sugar and such. I ended up getting a skinny frapp with sugar free French vanilla... Hit the spot perfectly!

Watch about the skinnys! Some of the skinny syrups are not sugar free just lower sugar. Make sure you ask. :-). This will be my hard hurdle too. LOVE coffee. :-)

I gave up all caffiene and soda the day of surgery. I made my husband buy starbucks the other day just so I could take a big ole whiff...... smelled heavenly!!!!

My surgeon told me to give up coffee for two reasons: 1) caffeine is a diuretic and we need to be careful about keeping ourselves hydrated. 2) coffee is acidic. It can hurt our new pouch and cause discomfort. I used to drink 5-6 cups a day and now I don't drink it regularly at all. If I do crave coffee, I get a small Decaf and then sip slowly.

Download the Starbucks app , it helps me a lot and when you get ready to order just let them know it has to be sugar free, and the will use a sugar sub.. Or tell you what the have that's sugar free or low in sugar.

I'm currently sitting in a Starbucks and have already sucked down half of my venti iced skinny vanilla latte. It's HOT outside and it's delicious. Unfortunately I just looked at their nutrition pamphlet and a venti skinny flavored latte has 22 grams of sugar in it! DOH!!!!

How is that possible? The vanilla Syrup is sugar free. Is it from the nonfat milk? Do you think they're counting the lactose?

This is not my first skinny latte since surgery. It doesnt cause me any problems.

Can someone shed some light on this for me?

It will get better. I love coffee too but after surgery I couldn't stand it. I'm four months out. Now I'm back to normal.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
