vanessa1215 35 Posted November 17, 2012 Is anyone able to eat an occasional fry? I have no intention of any time soon since I'm only 6 days post op, however, I do love fries and would love to one day be able to have 3 or 4 with a burger patty (no bread lol) Maybe not a huge concen, but I can't imagine never having a fry again HA!

A New New Dawn 1,695 Posted November 17, 2012 You sure can. Once in a while for a "treat" I will order a McDonald's hamburger kids meal. It is around 350 calories I believe for the whole meal and now they only have a very small container of fries with it. I eat healthy overall but once in a while I will have this as my meal and it doesn't blow my calories for the day. 3 ☠carolinagirl☠, vanessa1215 and dee257 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLORIDAYS 3,040 Posted November 17, 2012 I have tried to steal fries every so often... Just 2 or 3 but evidentially I am one of the lucky ones the has a finicky band... No sooner then I swallow them... They come right back up. My band is allergic to grease I think because it happens with anything greasy.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladymarshall 61 Posted November 17, 2012 My mom and a friend of mine have the mom they both look great and both eat what they want just in moderation. They tell me you can eat what you want just in moderation and just chew chew chew. That's the most important thing. 3 ♥LovetheNewMe♥, colleeb and vanessa1215 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Depending on what stage you are or how fast you want to lose I would agree with you for the most part. For me I needed to get the weight off before I started enjoying anything in moderation... But now I do to a point and I am maintaining nicely. There are some foods I dont enjoy eating anymore because my band has a mind of its own ...like fried foods and rice. 2 TKW and ♥LovetheNewMe♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl2586 3,053 Posted November 17, 2012 I cant tolerate fries. I would rather have a nice baked potato with real butter, sour cream, green onions and some bakos and fat free cheese. Of course this is my meal. 3 Maddysgram, kmaas21605 and vanessa1215 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Small potato, a few grill chicken strips, cheese, sour cream and chives along with some butter sounds soooo good right now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PattyGirl66 1,243 Posted November 17, 2012 Yes you can! We buy the frozen bag of Shoprite "homestyle" Potatoe Strips, french fries and put them in the toaster oven till nice and crisp. They have the skin on them too, they are yummmmicious! The back of the bag says that: 16 fries = 110 calories Fat = 2.5 grams Saturated fat = 0 Cholesterol = 0 Sodium = 170 Carb = 20 Sugars = 0 Protein = 2 3 vanessa1215, colleeb and A New New Dawn reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
