Hi,

Let me start by saying I rarely ate fast food before my sleeve - my band made most food diffcult to eat, so I usually ate at home. Anyway...

We were on our way home from an evening walk at the bay. It was late and everyone is hungry. I recommended Taco Bell because I thought that was the only place that doesn't base their entire menu on bread.

I got a crunchy taco - just one. I took it home, scooped out the insides onto a plate, mixed in a little sour cream and ate about half of it. meat, cheese, a little shredded lettuce and the sour cream probably a total of 2 tablespoons all together. It went down well, I was full / satisfied. I am still shocked at how little it takes to fill me up.

As a family, we will probably not have fast food again for months - it is rare for us, but it was nice to know that I don't have to be terrified of the world around me.

Yes it is nice to know that we will be able to eat anything at the end of this. It will be in moderation and only time to time as I have to be aware of what I put in due to the small quantities I can take in.

I was traveling for work and due to circumstances beyond my control ended up at Wendy's. I got a small chili and ate it for three meals. Decent protein and not too bad on carbs and calories.

At three months i was able to go to chilis - get the chicken club sandwich without the bun and eat about a third of it with a fork and knife. yum!!

It's wonderful, isn't it?!! I ate at Denny's and ordered an omelet and asked if they could leave off the hasbrowns and bread. They did and gave me a $2 discount! Plus I only ate half of it and had the rest for 2 meals! Pre-op, I would have eaten the omelet, hashbrowns and bread at one sitting!! LOL!
