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

Same here, I order small amounts sometimes don't finish or even take some of it home. And remember guys nearly EVERYTHING is permissible - just use good common sense and eat in moderation, something the sleeve FINALLY allows us to do.

At one restaurant we visit we split an entree, take half home for a meal the next day - that's FOUR meals from "ONE" serving. Portions are just WAY outta control.

Another thing I notice is that I am enjoying food MORE now that I am eating LESS. I just enjoy the FLAVOR now rather than just striving to fill myself up.

Yes maam. I can vouch for that

Went to lunch with some folks the other day and while they all indulged in the 100% southern blue plate special of chicken fried steak & mashed potatoes with gravy at the diner, I ordered "scrambled" egg substitute and corned beef hash. Needless to say, that $5.25 was good for 3 meals and a snack. Just added some picante sauce one time, shredded cheddar another, and then picante & shredded cheese to mix it up a little.

taco bell has become one of the places I eat at now - I get whatever want and throw away the tortilla - be it a chicken quesadilla or tacos or even a mexican pizza, I eat the guts and throw away the wrap

You all are SO reassuring!! I had my sleeve Friday and was beginning to think I had made a HUGE mistake. I LOVE to eat, when I heal and get off liquids I was thinking I'd never be able ro eat again. Thanks for all your input!!

I've tried a Wendy's $0.99 cheeseburger and I can eat about half... sleeved 4/19. Bread/starch does fine for me, I have no issues with it but it does fill me up where protein should be, so I eat it sparingly. What I actually really like from Wendy's if I'm on the go are the spicy chicken nuggets. Not great for you by any stretch from a fat-content perspective, but not any worse than a cheeseburger (better, in fact) and with less carbs and similar protein. I would never eat McD's chicken nuggets, they skeeve me out. But Wendy's are really good

Carls Junior has some great options too. The charbroiled chicken club is sooo good & they.make it w/ lettuce instead of a bun if you ask. Grilled chicken, cheese & bacon. 7 carbs & 30 protein. Definitely multiple meals!
