November 6, 20169 yr Oh, how I miss my morning Starbucks! It's been weeks since I've indulged. I will continue to be strong and stay away! #5weekspostop
November 6, 20169 yr I know the feeling. Went thru it myself but once you get the green light from the surgeon then indulgence will make a come back Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
November 6, 20169 yr Why no get a passion tea, no classic with splenda? There are plenty of sugar-free caffeine-free drinks that can be made there

November 6, 20169 yr Author Why no get a passion tea, no classic with splenda? There are plenty of sugar-free caffeine-free drinks that can be made thereMy goal is to get my protein in... That's hard enough. In addition, I like what I like. I do enjoy the sangria herbal tea. Once I'm able to hold a little more in my sleeve, I'll visit. Maybe it will be a 2017 treat!
November 6, 20169 yr Missing coffee but not as much as I thought I would. Just 12 and I am on the lowest does of narcotic pain meds that I have used for years. I think the all protein diet has reduce my chronic inflation.

November 15, 20169 yr My clinic allows for a cup of coffee a day - not lattes or mochas or other milk based drinks. I've transitioned well to Americanos and straight espresso...in fact, the sweet drinks turn me off now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
November 15, 20169 yr I know everyone's plan is different but I was allowed coffee right away. I only have about 1/2 to 1 cup a day. I don't enjoy it like I use to. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
November 15, 20169 yr I'm 18 months out and have Starbucks almost once a week. Some days, I have just a dark roast coffee with sugar free syrup other times I have a skinny peppermint mocha. I account for those calories just like anything else. I normally do not drink my calories but every once in awhile I will indulge.
November 16, 20169 yr Are they any foods that are absolutely OFF LIMITS after VSG? Like popcorn? Or breads? Seeds or nuts? I haven't heard anything yet... just curious. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
November 17, 20169 yr Mmmm Starbucks. When I go, I get what I want. Full fat version of whatever strikes my fancy! I only visit it about twice a year, so I don't worry about it too much.
