Jobu got a reaction from DeeM in Fast Food Questions
I'm 40 days out from sleeve surgery and I've cheated a few times with fast food. I'm in the car a lot and it's hard to avoid sometimes unfortunately. I wish I was stronger but it is what it is.
I had McDonalds 4 piece chicken nuggets a couple of times.
And I had a Burger King double cheeseburger once, over about two hours to finish it.
After both of these events I experienced a few days stall or even a pound gain on the scale the next day and noticeable swelling in my face that day, presumably from sodium.
I need to find a way to get around this addiction. I keep some Protein bags in the car to tackle periods of extreme hunger but find they only take the hunger away for an hour or two. Then I'm craving more food and fast food is convenient. I need to make better choices though. Maybe Subway or Chinese food.

Never heard of this either. But don't give up and don't get discouraged. This operation is the best thing you can do. You need to do anything you can to get it done, so I recommend you embrace a strict low carb diet for six months and get those extra pounds off. And then go back in for the surgery. It will fix everything and it is so much easier than dieting alone. Just need to get there. But I agree it is heartbreaking to hear this. I'd also most definitely be changing doctors. He shouldn't even be paid for that kind of nonsense and I hope the insurance company goes after him. He should be expert enough at his field to know what he can and can't do before he cuts you open. No excuse.

Should follow your plan, but If you are asking others for their experience, I don't foresee any issue. I had a scrambled egg (unblended) at day 13. My plan allowed it at day 15. Some doctors are more conservative than others and I'm not sure if they tailor it to individual patient and observations of the wound during surgery, or just go off a conservative time table to avoid worst case scenarios. I think you can be the best judge based on how you feel and tolerate different foods.
