My first foray into fast food



Recommended Posts

Hi,

Let me start by saying I rarely ate fast food before my sleeve - my band made most food diffcult to eat, so I usually ate at home. Anyway...

We were on our way home from an evening walk at the bay. It was late and everyone is hungry. I recommended Taco Bell because I thought that was the only place that doesn't base their entire menu on bread.< /p>

I got a crunchy taco - just one. I took it home, scooped out the insides onto a plate, mixed in a little sour cream and ate about half of it. meat, cheese, a little shredded lettuce and the sour cream probably a total of 2 tablespoons all together. It went down well, I was full / satisfied. I am still shocked at how little it takes to fill me up.

As a family, we will probably not have fast food again for months - it is rare for us, but it was nice to know that I don't have to be terrified of the world around me.

Yes it is nice to know that we will be able to eat anything at the end of this. It will be in moderation and only time to time as I have to be aware of what I put in due to the small quantities I can take in.

I was traveling for work and due to circumstances beyond my control ended up at Wendy's. I got a small chili and ate it for three meals. Decent Protein and not too bad on carbs and calories.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
