She started out at 300lbs. Got down to 170lbs and is now three years out and maintaining. I think it slowed down her weight loss, but it definitely didn't stop it. Please note, I do not advise that ANYONE tries to live off of McDonalds cheeseburgers just because they can get away with it and the portion size reduces the amount of calorie intake. We all know this is not healthy. Cool. I'm glad she was able to get to a decent weight and maintain it. Didn't it hurt going down??

You Sir are a brave brave man. lol I did something similar with some Won Ton soup I had about a week post op, except I chewed up all of the vegetables in it and spit them out. To be fair though, while certainly unhealthy, my cousin, who also had the sleeve done, said she lived off of McDonald's cheeseburgers for the first several months after her surgery as soon as she was able to eat solids. I get scared anytime I put anything in my mouth that I know I'm not supposed to. At this point, I'm more worried about rupturing my staple line than anything else. I imagine that 6 weeks out(when I should be able to tolerate most foods), I'll start being a lot braver, which could be a dangerous thing. I think the key is to reign it back after you mess up. Knowing that there can be dire consequences to bad choices helps with that. If you don't mind me asking, did this adversely affect her weight loss or did she lose a good amount regardless?

Not exactly cheating but i'm having a sordid love affair with Melba Toast atm. Even though allowed Melba toast but i'd rather not have it in my diet.
