I'm six months out...i can eat an entire McDonald's cheeseburger in 15 minutes... can you? I know it's not the right thing to eat but dang it one bite turned into another and then it was gone. My girlfriend had the surgery six years ago and can't eat one that quick.

For me it's one day to the next. Some days I'm hungry and can eat more, faster. Other days it'll take me an hour to finish a toddler portion!

Are you talking about the kids size cheeseburger? I'm two years out and I could maybe eat it if I took the top half of the bun off. I can eat 2/3 of a quarter pounder with none of the bun or 2/3 of a Son of Baconator from Wendy's with none of the bun. And, BTW, these are things I eat like 4 times/year when I actually go to a city with fast food restaurants. It's a rare treat of junk food.

It's from the dollar menu? I don't know if it's kids size. I definitely eat less but I don't have the kind of restriction you have

Sounds like you were pretty hungry and had the excess room to do it. I wouldn't stress about eating it that quickly as long as your sleeve isn't bringing you to your knees asking for forgiveness.

I could probably eat a half of one. I'm a year out. It might make me puke if I tried to eat the whole thing. Hamburgers are tough for me.

I can eat the dollar cheeseburger (300 cals, as I recall) now easily at 15+ months post-op. I'm definitely full afterward.

As I recall, at 6 months post-op eating the whole thing was a big deal. I could do it (I think), but it was not nearly as easy as now.

If I skipped the bun I could eat about 3/4 of the patty. DH is 5 months out and could eat almost an entire dollar menu cheeseburger if he's really hungry. Feeling good afterwards is another story.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
