Who eats McDonalds post op?

[starspring 30]

When I was on my 2week pre-op I was hangry! Hungy/angry that evrry other tv commercial was for food. I was second guessing my decision because I had a serious sweet tooth. I do believe I was detoxing because after my surgery I no longer crave candy cake Cookies or fast food and my skinny sons eat it all the time! I am still shocked that bread doesn't appeal to me. I love it! Good luck!

Can you have beer and wine?

Tonight I had chickfila kids grilled chicken nuggets(4), fruit, milk. Perfect!

This is the perfect meal! I love that they have grilled chicken nuggets now! I can only get the nuggets down at on sitting then the fruit at a different time!

We have no chicfila or el pollo loco. The other night it was already after 9 when I was headed home from work. My kiddo was hungry. Mcd's is one of the only places I can stop so I drove through and got her a 4 nugget meal and me 4 nuggets. I ate 3 of her fries and ate 2 nuggets (took an hour). 4 pieces are 190 calories.... Which means I easily ate less than 200 calories for my "dinner".

It isn't the tiny amount (less than 200 calories) that we eat now that put on the 100+ pounds we are trying to get rid of... its the Big mac, fries and large drink (1000+ calories) that put the weight on.

My lifestyle doesn't allow me to cook all the time, and as prepared as I am, if I am not in the mood for what I "brought" with me to work, I just won't eat... which isn't good either. I think its obviously important not to go overboard. But I think if you take into account your calories for the day, its not going to have the effect that your pre-sleeve stomach could eat.

Not just calories you want to look at but what type of calories. Quality ...

The other morning I gave a coworker a ride to work and she asked if we could stop at McD's to pick up Breakfast. I ordered a breakfast burrito. When I got to work, I scraped the inside of the burrito (sausage,scrambled egg, cheese) into a bowl and discarded the tortilla. I was satisfied and it wasn't a huge cheat. Although it is not something I would want to repeat often, it is nice to know there are workable options out there when we find ourselves in a situation where fast food is unavoidable.

I had a "food funeral" prior to surgery. I went to my favorite restaurant and ordered all of my favorite foods. We drank, ate and spent nearly $300 for the 2 of us. It now makes me giggle. I still eat all my favorite foods, just in moderation. I don't indulge on the bread basket unless THATS what I want and I typically just eat a little of everything. I do still run through McDonalds on occasion but instead of the Big Mac and extra large fry I get a kids meal.

I had a McDonalds experience just this weekend...we were at a baseball tournament in a small town on a Sunday afternoon. It was truly a one stoplight town and everything except for McDonalds was closed. I had a Protein bar with me, but I knew with a 2.5 hour trip home, I might need it for later. My husband and son had to eat, so we stopped at McDonalds.

I ordered a chicken wrap with grilled chicken. I opened up the wrap and ate the chicken (there was probably 2-3 ounces), one slice of bacon, the Tomato and cucumber. I had a bite of the wrap. I was satisfied. I didn't eat a fry, have a shake, or McCafe calorie-laden drink. This is a similar meal that I would have at a restaurant.

I had the choice - I could have ordered a burger and fries, but I chose not to. I chose not to have a shake or a McFlurry - I was tempted, but I CHOSE not to. The sleeve does not make the choices for you - the sleeve will stop you from eating copious amounts of food.

I took my granddaughter to McDonalds and I ordered a grilled chicken snack wrap, opened it up to just eat the chicken and threw the rest away. Pretty easy.

I love to read my old posts. i'm now well over 3 years post op. I had great success but have had some regain recently. i'm still a work in progress.

yes, I still occasionally have mcdonald's, and my meal is a cheeseburger and fry. now here's the real scoop- I rip about 75% of the bun away, leaving just enough thin material to hold it all together, and I can eat about 8 fries with it. that's it. sometimes, though, this really hits the spot!!!

Watch the founder and you won't want McDonald's that ray kroc was an ass lol

I have 1 Breakfast burrito frequently. I have tried a cheeseburger but it didn't make me feel good so I look for other food. Actually a 5 guys burger is good . I split it with my wife and eat about 60% of my half plus about 5 fries. I have maintained my weight well and eat much healthier now with my sleeve. If I have a challange after 4 years it's getting enough Water in.

I've hit MCD several times since surgery. I usually get a plain grilled chicken patty (no bun). I usually can eat 3/4's of it then end up tossing it. I also got a cheeseburger with no bun and a plain sausage patty before. Now, these are all low carb options but they're still considered unhealthy. But when I'm desperate, I'm desperate.

I do eat on the run from time to time but I try and do it as healthy as possible. For me I usually chose Wendy's and get a single burger without the bun. Their burgers seem to taste better than McDs. I also will get a salad from Subway with double the meat or a grilled chicken sandwich with no bun from time to time.

Only thing I have had from there at 9 weeks post opt is 3 nuggets and a mango pineapple smoothie. And not together, it was just something to grab while I was out and about I can live without the nuggets but that smoothie is hard to let go of. I think once in a while it's ok to have what you want in order to be realistic about this you have to live normal. I make better choices most of the time and I don't really crave fast food or junk food.
