Just received several gift cards to Starbucks. I have not had any coffee but I was wondering. LATER ON much later (surgery 9/27) is there anything I can order at Starbucks? Or that I could add my protein shake to? Thank you!

My surgeon allowed coffee. I even had it for breakfast in the hospital. At Starbucks I get a short coffee, black ice tea with sugar free vanilla, green iced tea, tango passion tea iced or hot with sugar free vanilla. Get the app and check out all they have. I sometimes take my coffee home and add vanilla protein.

Black coffee and iced (Americano my fav). I waited 4 months. Sweet and Low and Half and Half don't add much in the way of calories. Coffee is like booze. Go easy after 3 months and take your antacid!

Some juice

Start slow in just eating anything I can that's sugar free or low sugar to get some calories in me I felt so dead with little calories

I say go for it if you've got yourself a half cup sized bowl put it in that and eat it slow

My friend and I happened to stop by one two days ago. I just ordered a small chai latte..4 months out.

Lemonade, no sweetner with 1 scoop of matcha (each scoop has 25 calories) and light ice. Matcha is a very acquired taste but I am addicted to it. Green tea is full of b12 which I was very low on even before surgery and will give you a bit of an energy boost without the caffeine. (Note, green tea is slightly caffeinated, about 5-10% of a coffee).

Didn't do well my first 10 days or so, but now I get it when we're running errands the past 2 weekends. I can finish a tall and it helps me get Fluid in too.

I get either a Passion fruit tea unsweetened and add Splenda, which is a caffeine free drink.

Or I get a decaf skinny vanilla latte with almond milk and add my GENEPRO Protein powder to it for Breakfast.

Sure you can have ice cream! I don't know why you would choose to, though.

Starbucks is quite possible but anything with high sugar or juice is probably not best decision. They have a lot that is unsweetened but make sure you make that clear when ordering. Big difference between chai latte and unsweetened chai latte. Of course just plain Cappuccino or latte is while maybe a good handful of calories not terrible. They also have sugar free syrups.

As for ice cream not sure that is something I would consider until at goal and even then not in same way as before.
