Feels good to walk into McDonald's and spend 2.58 and have moooore than enough to eat or drink. I had a kids cheeseburger and unsweet tea :-) I finished neither

I remember days I'd spend 7 and 8 dollars and not be satisfied

i'm surprised you could eat the bread. i'm not allowed to have untoasted bread until 3 months out. i'm only 4 weeks.

I'm not going to fuss at either one of you. I've eaten a McD's cheeseburger (no bun) and, on a different day, a taco bell taco with the shell. Of the two, I prefer the taco. I drive a lot for my job and sometimes fast food seems like the only option. I've noticed that most fast food isn't appealing to me anymore. I literally find myself standing in front of the menu trying to figure out how to get a decent Protein out of one of their foods. I know grilled chicken and salads are lots of folks' go to, but some of those "grilled chicken" salads have as many calories as a big mac! I'm not willing to invest 800 calories to eat some chicken and bland lettuce.

Wendy's chili is usually my go to if I must do fast food. I prefer to keep a Protein Bar in my purse and have that if I'm out at mealtime than to eat at almost any other fast food place, though.

Love it!!!

I love me some Wendys!

I like the refried beans cup at Taco Bell. Think that would be good on mushies? I'll be starting those in a few days. Or maybe it's too high in fat?

The taco bell refried beans are not high in calories - like 120 for a serving but it only has about 7 g of protein. The bad thing is the sodium - 610 mg. but they definitely are good! There is 20 g of carbs as well.

I love the money I save. And I love going to t-bell for 1 single taco! And that's it! People I go with get 3-6 tacos or worse. Never going back :-)

You can remove a lot of the sodium by asking for no sauce on Taco Bell's refried beans. Then ask for a packet of sauce and put your own on there if you like it. Those beans were my first mushy food! Yummmmmmmm

The thing I like about my sleeve is that I can eat anything I want.... as a fat person I didn't eat a lot of food that was BAD for me.. I just ate a LOT of food...

now... I eat anything I want..... I am 7 months out.. and I eat a bite or two of anything I want.. but that is usually all I want of BAD FOR YOU STUFF... I am totally satisfied with just a bite...

THANK you to my sleeve!!

I was the same way. I ate really healthy all my life. No candy, chips, pizza or junk foods. I never ate more than my plate of food. Everytime I would go eat out I always had to bring food home. Before my surgery I was totally boggled as to why I couldnt lose weight and that had an emotional effect on me. But in return since I really didnt eat to harsh my stomach from point A "esphogas" to point B "large intestines" isnt really that long so since I got sleeved my new stomach isnt big at all. Since being sleeved I can see all to well as portion size was my problem. I didnt realize that one should only eat so very little.

Instead of plate they should only make saucers because ultimately thats what everyone should have as a plate 4-5 times a day.

Now heres my new problem. I goto lots of car shows since I have a show car. This past weekend I took home a 1st place trophy "yay" lol. Well at pretty much all of them they sell beer, hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, hot links you know the typical fairground foods. I choose the hamburger but I get them to use double cheese and no sauces. I let the hamburger cool down and I pick the bread off and discard. You know how when cheese cools down it binds to a layer of bread so when I peel it off I have a tiny layer of bread. I eat a 1/4 at 11ish, a 1/4 at 2is and a little on the way home. I have never finished one yet. So hamburgers arent all that bad.

Now being at 13 weeks out I am scared to eat a Taco shell. I know that I can eat a taco salad shell because I tried that to see if the grease would irritate me but that shell is way softer than a corn shell of a taco.

Unsweet tea is my new favorite too. I drink about 2-3 20 oz containers ( or mediums) a day lol. It goes down so smooth. I wish Water went down like tea does for me.

Thanks Wendy's! 1 slice of cheese and 2 bites of baked sweet potato (hold the topping) makes for a nice lunch under $2. Pretty sweet, since most fast foods don't have much for us no-meat eaters

Ahh yes Wendy's!! I love their small chili, 210 cal and 17g Protein make for an awesome lunch )
