Fast Food eating out



Recommended Posts

Tonight my husband is going to the camp, so it is just me and the kiddo's. They are wanting Popeye's for supper and I am kinda stressing out. Pre surgery, Popeye's was on of my weaknesses. Tonight is going to be a test. I am not tempted in the least for the chicken but I am just wondering what do I get. I know that they have mashed potatoes and red Beans. I am thinking that either one of those would be okay? Or if I should just stay away completely and get something at home?

Being sleeved 12/14/10 you probably shouldn't be eating whole foods yet, the mashed potatoes with a bit of gravy might be OK but if you're like me you won't eat much. I think I would take a jar of pureed chicken, Gerbers baby food is one. It's 2.5 oz and makes a meal for me. I've been really turned off by food lately so it would be easy for me, if you are still attracted to food then it may be a real challenge.

I am not attraced to food at all but I don't think that I could do the baby food. It totally turns me off and can not bring my self to eat it. I know that maybe I should but I can't. I may just get the mashed potatoes and share with my little boy. I know that he would like them. Or I may just eat my cottage cheese.< /p>

Now that I am on regular foods the choices aren't as bad but still bad enough that it makes me not what to eat out! We traveled 2800 miles over Christmas so we had to eat out some! I learned that McDonald's grilled chicken (just the meat) is a good meal with Protein. One time when we stopped at a gas station I grabbed beef Jerky and a tea and that was great!

Before I was on solids I didn't go out at all. If my family wanted to that was fine they could but I would make myself something at home!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
