Starbucks On Week 2 Post Op



Recommended Posts

I do on occasion have regular coffee but find I only drink about 4oz of it. If I go to Starbucks I order a Decaf skinny vanilla latte with 1 splenda and it is yummy. You can do that with any of the sugar free syrups and if you order regular coffee in a latte, there is not a ton of coffee in a latte.

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' date=' 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.

I checked yesterday. They don't have it in sugar free yet. At least where I live at. They did show me their instant coffee ones in pumpkin spice. I haven't tried yet.

Thanks! :) it sounds to good to be true. I bought a grande skinny vanilla latte yesterday, and I'm still sipping it today. I drank about 1/4 yesterday another 1/4 today... Delicious and hit the spot :)

Good news! I guess we can have the lemonade at Starbucks. I always assumed it was synonymous with like minutemaid (aka 50% sugar) so I've avoided it since surgery because I couldn't get concrete nutrition facts - but after trying a sip I realized it's basically straight lemon juice, so i've been sipping on an arnold palmer (black tea & lemonade) all day and I'm in heaven. Passion tea & lemonade was my favorite pre surgery and I'm so excited

      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!!
