Neenagh, i am so sorry you are having so much trouble. DO NOT BEAT YOUSELF UP over eating the Mc Flurry, and the chocolate's, it was one mistake, now just move on from it.

LOL, green, from someone who's not biased, they're just like a Blizzard... but from McDonalds ;)

I'd take a blizzard anyday! At least at DQ I get some choice in what goes into my icecream concoction, not just oreo or smarties! You guys are nuts!

I think that it's a problem with living in downtown Toronto and having grown up with European parents. I never ate a Big Mac until I was 35. Now I love them!

wow... craziness. I guess when you live somewhere and have SO MANY other options, you don't always get around to the old stand-by's that some of us live(d) on! You probably had so many other tastier options. ;)

You can't still eat Big Mac's, can you?

(and, you don't wanna know what a Blizzard is, forget I ever mentioned it! Stay away from the Blizzards!)

It was my husband that introduced me to Big Macs and now I love 'em! I have Mac attacks. They are sorta gross but deeply addictive. Part of the reason that it took me so long to experience MacDonalds was that it took them a long time to infiltrate the core of Toronto and because I don't drive I was never in the right places until I met my signif other. Now I have two MacDonalds within walking distance of my house. Yep, it takes me five minutes to walk to a Big Mac, eh! lol Times have really changed.

I only had my first Taco Bell experience about five years ago when one opened up within walking distance. Now a friend and I sometimes go there for Sunday brunch! I love the fries supreme.

When I was in my twenties fast food meant Harvey's for hamburgers and Mr. Sub. The other option was pizza. All the good fast food franchises were in the suburbs or in the States. LOL

Oh, and growing with European parents meant that we almost always ate home cooked food while we were growing up. We hardly ever went out to restaurants and we didn't order in. This was the way my dad liked it. My mother didn't. And we didn't either. I think that this is why I like eating in restaurants so much.

interesting.......

I've only had Taco Bell once. I prefer Taco Time! And Harvey's, I just discovered a few years ago (in a Home Depot?!), but yummmm... they make good burgers!

I tried a McDonald's cheseburger a month after the band, that was a mistake. I think it was the white bread bun. That experience was enough for me. No more burgers for Wheezy!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
