starbucks question



Recommended Posts

I agree Pik. :P

Well, I made a bariatric safe pumpkin spice coffee drink yesterday. Discusting! I poured it out.

Today I bought 1/2 caf coffee. I'll try it plain tomorrow. It's what I drank pre-surgery. If it tastes gross too then I will try regular caff coffee. If that tastes gross too then I will be very sad :( because that will only mean that my taste buds have changed post surgery. And that would just.plain.suck!. My husband would be happy because he can't stand the smell of coffee.

But I have determined that I hate the taste of all of these fake sugars. So gross tasting. I think that's the real problem with any Starbucks/non-starbuck's coffee's. :( blah

I tried to drink a Decaf (which I usually like just fine) yesterday and it was so bad. I couldn't even drink it. I have to wonder if I just don't drink coffee anymore! That would suck because I have a million K cups!

Tall (or grande) nonfat cappucino (decaf or regular).

Tall has 60 cal and Protein from the milk. You can add fake sugar if you like.

I do sometimes but since I've been off of caffeine for 9 weeks and want to get off bp med I figure it's better not to start it back up. ;) but I am drinking a plain half caff coffee now and it tastes fine. Yay!

I am so jealous. I bet if I used regulat half and half it wouldn't be so gross.

I added hot Water so it's more like 3/4 Decaf, 1/4 caf ;)

I occasionally get an iced coffee skinny caramel with half and half. I don't have any caffeine restrictions on my plan. Honestly It's way more effective than any laxative out there. LOL.

Apple Chai is my favorite. It's a chai tea latte but instead of milk they use apple juice

Oh my goodness YUM! I gotta try that! Or better yet let my 16 year old with the super fast metabolism order it and have a few sips LOL! Probably not a whole lot of Apple juice though, right?

      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!!
