What to get at Starbucks? - ThinnerTimes

I am wanting to go to Starbucks and get a Frapaccino. I am not sure if they have low-sugar ones or not, its been awhile since I have been there. I would probably be better off making it myself at home. I am wondering, when you go to Starbucks what do you order?

Hi, I used to love the fraps but now get a sugar free vanilla iced latte with an extra shot of espresso. I have not had any problems from those. I've also tried the light fraps but they did not sit well on my tummy.

the light ones have half of the sugar. I was also told you can ask for less pumps of syrup. I usually go to coffee bean and get the no sugar added iceblends. They average about 13-20 grams depending on size and flavor.

I get the Lite Frapps too and have not had a problem with them the yare yummy but you kinda have to drink them quick as they melt a little faster then taste like watery old coffee ice.

I get the light fraps, in tall size or a one pump of mocha/monthly special. They use 3 pumps of syrup flavor for each tall serving. They do have SF vanilla and hazelnut. Some other speicalty coffee shops may have a whole array of SF syrups. I also ask for FF milk as even 2% makes me ill.

Okay - confession time.... I had my surgery on the 22nd, yeah, six days, and I'm in a Dunn Bros. using their computers today. I did order something.

A 16 oz, one shot, sugar free hazelnut latte, decaf. I figure it's mostly milk.

But, I did ask at the WLS surgery pre-op class if it was coffee they objected to or the caffiene. It's the caffeine. Too much might hurt your stomach. So, just keep the caffiene down and enjoy the milk!!!
