I Learned Something New!



Recommended Posts

i just have to share something that I think only fellow sleevers will "get". My hubby and I were out of town yesterday, and while we always pack a to-go care package with Protein drinks, cheese and usually rolled turkey slices, it was cold outside and we wanted to get out of the truck.

We stopped and went into McDonalds. Mind you it has been probably close to a year since I was in one as the closest to me is 1.5 hours away. Anyway, asi gazed at the menu, honestly NOTHING sounded good. So the lady in front of me ordered fries and a chicken snack wrap. I figured good chic would be the chicken snack wrap with no sauce.

Well if any of you have had one-ugh. I opened the wrap there were a few slivers of lettuce and greasy cheese. I began to eat just the chicken, and wanted a bite of the whole thing all together thinking that was the secret to this item. What did I find out????

I tasted raw flour and that was it. DISGUSTING. Oh crow could it be true, me...I was raised on refried Beans and flour tortillas (mom side) and potatoes, Beans and cornbread ( dad's side).

I doubt I will EVER eat a flour tortilla again and as far as Mickey D's goes well...........not likely for me.

Just sharing. Have a great week.

Isn't it amazing how the things we used to really love can be such a turnoff now? If I even eat just one McDonald's french fry, all I taste is grease and it makes me sick to my stomach. But hey, I figure that is a good thing.

I've ALWAYS thought the food an McD's was disgusting and like you was "trapped" into going to one months ago - it was the only thing around without getting off the highway for miles. YUCK! I ate one bite of the burger patty and that was it. We were "dining in" so I ordered one of their ice cream cones, it was pretty good.

So my opinion of their food just went down. I didn't think it COULD get any lower :)

I had a similar experience with Popeyes and KFC. In the past few weeks with hectic Christmas shopping, we stopped for chicken. (my husband thought it would be good Protein for me). I got a chicken leg at both places... it was so greasy, it made me sick and I couldnt eat it. I just do not like greasy things anymore... I was instantly queasy and had no appetite for it! I guess that is one of the many blessings in disguise!

Even with my complication, I am so blessed to have had this NEW opportunity in life!! Who needs those greasy, nasty tasting foods. It is a new way to live.

I am so excited, and I think you all are too!

I just want more weight to come off, as I heal I am sure it will.

Take care all.

If we do McD's I just get a side of grilled chicken and maybe a side salad. They only charge me $1.30 for a piece of grilled chicken and I get the sweet chili sauce for dipping. Yum. The thought of KFC scares me though.

What about KFC's grilled chicken?

        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
