I was just wondering what kinds of things ya'll order from Starbucks. Pre surgery (2 weeks ago) I was having a daily iced nonfat grande mocha. I won't be having those anymore and most likely won't be visiting Starbucks much but if and when I do, what are some good ideas that's ok for us lapbanders. I only like iced drinks. Any suggestions??

I don't usually do Starbucks, but the other day I got an iced coffee (black coffee on ice) and it was $2.79. Robbery.

By the way, Jachut, I agree on both the gum chewing and the slurping from a huge paper cup.

skinny vanilla latte.

I love green tea frappacinos but they are really fattening.

Not a coffee drinker, but I am quite fond of my venti low-fat green tea frappucino, no whip!

Somone did you wrong!! I don't even pay for the for my double shot over ice - think maybe 1.89 which is still robbery.

I don't miss food but don't mess with my CAFFINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my favorite and I only have it about twice a month: Venti iced house coffee with 5 pumps of white chocolate mocha.

Venti not grande

Mmm!!!! Skinny Hazelnut or Vanilla Latte! Hot or iced.

I love green tea frappacinos but they are really fattening.

I saw someone get one of those the other day - it was frozen. I'm so tempted but I heard they are high in everything - fat, calories, and sugar.

Okay, I had to throw in my two cents here....I love the frapps at starbucks...My favorite is strawberries in cream...But when the make it I ask them to make it light, and I always get a tall size (small). Not all starbucks will do it...But the one at my college hooks me up!! I don't do it everyday, but maybe once a month or every two months. Also for a warm drink I like the sugar free skinny latte with carmel and vanilla shots...MMmmm so yummy!

My favorite is a tall non-fat carmel machiatto. I don't really care for the sugar free syrup. I only go to Starbucks once or month if that often.

When I go, it's the Venti Skinny (nonfat, sugar free, no whipped cream) Mocha, iced, decaf. 120 cals + I get my milk.

It makes a decent-enough Breakfast in a hurry because you get 10 grams Protein without all the other crap. The only sugars and carbs are from the milk. It's not substantial enough for every day, but it's better thank skipping altogether. And because I get decaf, my hunger isn't goaded into reappearing later.

I heard that they are discontinuing the already-short-lived SF Mocha, so I bought a bottle and have it behind their counter with my name on it.

Two other options I like are brewed coffee, either black or with a little nonfat milk, or iced green tea, unsweetened.

I am a Starbucks Junkie!! I use to go every day and at my highest point I was having two venti iced drinks a day. I really like the Skinny latte's either hot or cold. My new craving is the Black Shaken Iced tea with sweet-n-low. I had 3 of them yesterday.....

Tall skinny vanilla latte... i like it hot... but its good cold as well
