I waant to go to starbucks !!!

I am addicted....love them.....I am in need... Gosh sounds like an alcohlic...HELP!!!...lol... I tried making them at hoem but my way always tastes nasty.. I amgoing to bed at the moment its 12 am here and I am beat but any advice or rec. would be apreciated...might even fix on in the am if I get a good rec... love ya all thanks again...and btw are they ok to have even if I cut down to 2 a week?

I still have the occasional one, only I ask for low fat milk and decafe coffee, they can still make everything the same and it tastes almost as good... Its hard to give us those addictions, mine is ice cream and even tho it makes me sick I still have one every now and then. Good Luck Lee

Hey there, I've been to Starbuck's a few times since surgery. I get the fat-free latte, with decaf and sugar-free vanilla and hazelnut syrups. It's tasty and I never fini**** I don't do it often, but on occasion I do allow myself to splurge! Moderation is the key! Michelle

I go to Starbuck's almost daily! Usually I get a Grande decaf sugar-free hazelnut skim latte. It's only 160 calories with 16 grams of protein - due to the skim milk! We're supposed to get some milk and dairy in our diet so mine comes in this form. Once in a while when it's hot outside, I get one of their new Light frappaccino's - the expresso one has 150 calories in a grande with like 7 grams of protein. I have read a lot of posts where people cut out the things they enjoy the most. I just read a post about someone feeling like they cheated because they had a single french fry! I may get slammed here, but with WLS we have to learn a whole new way of eating that we can live with for the rest of our lives. My rule of thumb is before anything touches these lips on their way to the pouch, I ask myself do I really want it and is it going to be worth it. I also examine how I've eaten the rest of the day. I've lost 125 pounds since Feb 25th, but I don't feel like there's any food I can't have if I want it bad enough. I just have to be in control of the food- not the other way around! Gloria

Starbucks doesn't have enough variety for me. They only carry SF vanilla in most stores I've been to. I like the little stands they have. Most of them carry a very wide variety of flavors, and have just as good quality espresso. I get a different flavor every time, and go 2-3 times a week. I'm not supposed to drink any calories, but I count that toward my breakfast. I love the taste of coffee, but if I don't have it in latte form it hurts my tummy. Linn

I am a fellow starbucks freak!! Some days I go 2 or even 3 times. I am trying to ween off a bit and wittle down to a couple a week. I am 20lbs from goal and I dont want it all to be ruined by another addiction. I get the frappucino light, usually mocha. ummmmmmmm... I am not supposed to drink calories either and I was told to avoid caffine because it is a hunger stimulant. I would say the frappucino is my down fall. I am otherwise doing everything right. I am so gald there are other starbucks freaks out there.

I love starbucks although I try to limit myself! I always get a grande non fat chai tea latte either hot or cold. Its not too sweet and its decaf and its great. I love it!!! sarah

Hi, I too am having Satrbucks withdrawl!!! I used to drink the Carmel Frapiciano's. Since my surgery in February I haven't even attemped it. I tried decaf coffee at home and it just doesn't taste the same. Kinda watery. My husband is also a Starbucks junkie, and last weekend he asked someone at Starbucks about making me a decaf sugarfree low fat Carmel Frap and they said they could do it with the sugar free syrup!!! They put just a drop of carmel on top and the wipped cream is low fat. I got a small and was so excited!! It of course didn't taste the same but it was very close. I couldn't drink it all but I sure enjoyed that. It will hold me for a while so the next time, I feel like one I know what to oreder. Good Luck fellow Coffee Addicts!!
