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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
