I do -- but not NEARLY as often. I simply know that when I have my <multistep overpriced coffee order here> that I am sucking down X calories and will have to be on my exercise equipment for an extra hour or so that day.

Some of those drinks are downright scary -- might as well get a milkshake :)

No wonder I get that temporary high after Starbucks. I had no idea that the sugars, carbs, & calories were that high. :) Scary is an understatement. Thanks for the link.

I agree with everyone else with the calories. I know they are a lot but as a treat, it's not so bad. I was told prior to surgery to lay off the caffeine and I did. I'm the goofball that now orders everything in Decaf and everyone looks at with the "why the heck are you getting coffee then?" look in their face. :)

Starbucks is not that bad, you just have to order right. I went today - 7 days post op - Got a China Tips Green Tea with 2 Splendas & some frothed Skim Milk. Very good!

i had surgery 3 weeks ago and i went into starbuck when i was on full liquids and got a frappachino... they were able to make it Decaf for me.. of course i had it without the whip cream though... but it was delicious.. and very low in fat ....

In the winter I get a cafe misto with skim -- 12 g Protein and only 90 cals. In the summer, I get ice coffee -- no protein, but no cals either and it makes me HAPPY!

I'm addicted! I enjoy a sugar free, non fat cinnamon dulce and love them. I don't know how many calories. I would say 200-300.

Me and coworker have been watching our calories and looked at all the Starbucks drinks to find the ones with the least amount of calories and fat content. The grande nonfat sugar free latte's are only 130 calories. Super filling too. So the tall would be even less than this and you can get the Decaf variety if your Water intake is of concern.

Usually a couple of times a month I will get a sugarfree iced coffee. I usually get sf vanilla or hazlenut added...It's not quite a frapp, but it's really good. I have only had a frapp once since being banded and I really didn't need it then.

Hi everyone! I am to be banded on Sept 5th and before i started my pre-op diet i had a grande non-fat chai latte. I thought that might be one of my last. Does anyone know how fattening that is? I just love them!!!

The grande non fat chai latte is 200 calories.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
