| Starbucks and lapbands!
Hi
I have not had my LAP-BAND ® yet, but I was wondering if any of you still enjoy Starbuck beverages with your band? You know the speciality drinks?  |

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 :)

Seriously, where is the disclosure in the LAP-BAND® brochure that says "may result in sudden bouts of insanity, alcoholism, and self-loathing moments"? -- Sarah

State: IN | 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. :)

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.

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!

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!

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!!!
