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!

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. :)

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....

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.

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. :(

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.

Oh I love baked potatoes too! I am originally from TX and plan in making a southwest baked potato when I'm on foods again... Small potato, a few grill chicken strips, cheese, sour cream and chives along with some butter sounds soooo good right now!

16 fries = 110 calories

Fat = 2.5 grams

Saturated fat = 0

Cholesterol = 0

Sodium = 170

I forgot to mention, I could never get to 16 fries if I tried to. My belly says it can only handle 10 now, LOLOLOL

I love McDonalds fries, however, I'm really wanting Chick-fil-a waffle fries :P lol This will be a splurge day while out with the girls or something (Mother of 5 so I usually only get 2 or 3 of those a year lol)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
