WHen I was still on mushies with my AGB I thought the same thing and tried it with a bol from Chipotle. I figured -- if I chew that chicken, cheese and Beans it all gets sort of mushed up, and still tastes good, so this should taste the same, right?

NO

It was nasty. Horrible, in fact. The texture was miserable, and the flavor was -- well let's just say I have no idea how individual things that taste good can combine into something that tastes so bad??

So now we know! lol

Thanks for the warning. hahaha That is funny! :lol:

At McDonald's, I like the Asian chicken salad (Sorry Starygirl, I guess you'll have to wait till you're stateside to try it!). It makes two meals for me.

I only have McD's and BK to choose from, and I am not a fan of either. But when needs must, I order a cheeseburger with extra pickles and eat it with only a small part of the top or bottom bun. And usually a fry or six from the hubs. :P But potatoes of any sort are real hard on my usual-sleeve-of-steel, so I take it real easy on the fries or I pay for it. I've never been that into McD and BK, so I am not worried about ending up in some fast-food gutter with my Big Mac in a plain brown bag...

Mmmm... How about the roast beef from Arby's? I think that might remain in my diet... in moderation after the prerequisite time. Or I can just get deli roast beef and use a packet of Arby's sauce. LOL.

The chicken Breast is injected with chicken Flavoring. And the Hambuger meat is loaded with hamburger tasting filler so it is not 100% meat. There are also fillers in Chicken Nuggets. The hamburger filler is sprayed with butane (lighter fluid) to clean it.

Please do not eat mcdonalds. Watch:

Tiffykins, I had Moe's while on vacation last week for the first time, and I LOVED it. We do not have them here in Jersey! I so wish we did! I got a quesadilla and just ate the insides after i loaded it up with all the fresh free toppings, half for lunch and half for dinner. The kids even loved it!

To the OP, at McD's I usually have one or two of the kids nuggets, but i'm not ever hungry so I just let the kids eat, and I'l drink my Water. On vacation last week, we stopped there for lunch before hitting the parks, to save some cash, so I got the yogurt parfait, I ate that minus the fruit. the fruit was mushy.

I love the Wendy's half size salads and the chili, that is my go to fast food when I am out and about and need to eat, otherwise, i just have Jerky in the car.

I can honestly sat that I lost 3 pounds on vacation eating a bunch of crap foods, pizza 4 times, hot dogs, McD's, Joe's Crab Shack, Moe's, park food and lots of alcohol. I made a promise to my family that I was going to have fun and not worry about what i was eating, and I didn't. the only problem I had was with ice cream that we had for dinner one night (the kids were really good and they picked that), I dumped on it! After that, I decreased my ice cream servings from 2 scoops to 1! much better!

Oh, and after all that I am only 1 pound away from GOAL!!

I'm 5 months post op and when I got to McDonalds I get a 4 piece McNugget, (I can only eat 3 of them) and about 10 fries (my son eats the rest), 3 apples from the apple dippers and 1/4 of the frozen lemonade. YUMMO!!! Doesn't sound like much but I'm full as a tick! I only do that when I'm splurging or like last week when we were out shopping all day. It sucks because I can't eat salad, lunch meat, fried foods, greasy food, beef or pork so most other options for eating while out are out for me (wait a minute - that's what a paid for! That's a GREAT thing and the reason I've lost 82 pounds!) I haven't tried Burger King or Wendy's. The McDonald's works. And it's cheap. I spend about $4.00 on my meal, and I don't eat 1/2 of it. Not bad at all!

Any Newbies dealing with hardships with Clear Liquids? I am four days post-op and already beyond over sugar free pops, broth and sugar free regular Jello Gelatin. My esophagus feels like it is in fire, and the gas is beyond repairable. I started eating chocolate sugar free pudding, and truthfully half a cup filled me up. I can deal mentally more sufficiently feeling filled. Then hearing my stomach rumble and holding a full coversation with my moms dog who since my wls gas not left my side. I am curious about being able to eat life Cereal with blue diamond almond original milk and equal? I am truly trying to stick to the proposed diet rather then just going on what feels good in comfort eating... Help...

I have to admit I was kind of thrown off when I seen a MCDonalds question from 2011 then read this lol but I felt the same way myself. I was so over the liquids but in the long run it's worth it and you don't want to eat the wrong things and risk getting sick. Just drink plenty of Water and Protein it will pass. I know it seems easier said and done but I was sleeved 8 22 16 and I'm still on mostly liquids. I take it a day at a time. Stay positive and you will have a true testimony for the next person. Keep your head up! :)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
