be careful with starbucks because a lot of their stuff is very, very high in sugar.  Also caffiene increases the appetite.  They do have no sugar added drinks but be careful in choosing.  I have dumped on drinks there and it is not fun.

 Only being two months out I would recommend a Tall Decaf coffee with Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup, Skim milk and Splenda.

I am almost two years out - my favorite (on occasion) is the skinny sugar-free Carmel Macchiato.

I was 2 months out.  I made sure I ordered a skinny (skim milk) and sugar free syrup.  I was fine, and didnt dump.  But I have never dumped either.   I just make them repeat back to me that it is sugar free, Im still afraid to try anything with sugar.

I was worried about dumping. I got a sugar free vanilla soy latte. All I can say is yuckie. I can't stand it. I was nervous to get a latte with milk because I haven't had milk since post op. Would a soy latte taste the same a a skinny latte

Try dairy at home to see if you have issues (I don't)  If you do have issues, get some lactaid and you should still be able to get a latte with milk.  I don't think I would like a soy latte, bleugh!

 I've been lucky, no problems with dairy products.  I personally prefer skim milk over soy milk.

I asked my doctor about Starbucks at my 4 week appt.  He said it would be fine as long as it was sugar free, skim milk and decaf (he doesn't want me having caffeine the first year).  He did caution me to make sure it wasn't too hot because that could irritate my pouch.  I haven't gone yet but plan to eventually!

I was three months post-op. I ordered a Skinny Sugar-Free, Peppermint Mocha.
I hated it.

I threw pretty much the entire cup away.

I'd stick with the Vanilla recommended above.
