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!

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)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
