Dunkin' Donuts is my Postop Friend?!



Recommended Posts

I was actually looking into trying their coffee drinks and was looking for sugar free flavors. I decided to peruse through their menu and came across a tasty, Protein high, reasonable carbs, and portion friendly Breakfast.

It took me about an hour to finish it. And it was yum!

I don't plan to make it a daily or even weekly event. But it's nice to know a decent Breakfast on the fly isn't limited to a Protein bar!

Wake-Up Wrap:

Yes, whodda thunk it? Some of the places you would think would be post op suicide can actually be some of our best friends!

Starbucks for example, they have a egg white, spinach and feta breakfast wrap. Un wrap it from the tortilla and you have Protein nirvana! Yummy too!

McDonalds, grilled chicken ceasar salad, same exact salad, every time, every place down to the 4, yes exactly 4 cherry tomatoes. Great lunch, I eat the chicken and .5 oz of shredded parm, the 4, exactly 4 tomatoes and I am good to go.

Did I mention, they have 4, exactly 4 of those little cherry tomatoes in every grilled chicken ceasar salad, every day in every McDonalds? I think I want the job of Tomato quality inspector for them. I can count to 4! :D

I guess it goes to show if we look just a little, healthy stuff have been among us for sometime.

I made my own version of Dunkin Donuts' wrap this morning. Mine had 50 or 60 more calories but more than double the Protein and about half the carbs. It was yummy!

I don't weigh myself often but I'm down a total of 79 lbs as of a week ago this past Saturday. Next weigh in is this coming Saturday. I need to get measured ago too. Down from a 28 jeans to a 24, sometimes a snug 22.

I grilled some chicken thighs and artichokes yesterday in a Mediterranean marinade. The only thing it lacked was feta.

Yep. People like to demonize one place over others or whatever but the reality is you can get something reasonable almost anywhere, we just don't.

      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.
