You can't have the muffin, but you can order the egg and the meat and just eat that

It's amazing how surprised you will be once you start trying all your favourite old foods and cravings........there's a good chance you won't even like them anymore! I've tried a number of "old favourites" (usually just one or two bites), and I didn't even enjoy or like most of them!

Your tastes change, your tolerance changes (I still can't do breads/pasta, etc. and probably have eliminated them for the most part for the rest of my life!)

When you're more stable (8-10 weeks post op), you can consider trying a bite of the McMuffin (if that falls within your Dr.'s post-op eating guidelines, of course)....just don't be surprised or upset if it just doesn't have the same effect on you as it had before!

Yeah when I hit a certain goal...my reward was a Gigi's cupcake...one of my all time favorites. I cut it in half and gave my hubby the other half. I took one bite and it was way too sweet...raked the frosting off and took a bite of the cake...threw it in the garbage can! I just didn't care for it...it wasn't what I expected it to be. I would rather step on the scale and see more lbs gone!

I'm 4.5 months out and I did try an egg mcmuffin at about 3 months out. I only ate it with the bottom piece of bread and I was only able to finish about 2/3 of it.

I have an egg Mcmuffin every morning, the only thing is I really can't eat the muffin part cause breads are too heavy on my sleeve still but I eat the inside, besides by the time I finish the egg and canadian bacon I am stuffed, since the egg mcmuffin on whole is 300 calories it kinds gives me an idea of the carolies I eat in the morining without any worry since I really don't eat the bread part. So try it out it won't hurt.

I forgot I had a recipe for it.... http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/49534-egg-mcnuthin/

Not as glamorous or whatever as mc'ds but.... is better for you and helps you fit in smaller jeans!

For some reason the english muffin is very dry and dense and not very tolerable for most people. I often have an egg with canadian bacon combo at home to get the taste I crave without the carbs.

Eating more that 1/4 of the English muffin would make me hurl - literally. I stay away from McDonald's like I would the plague. Nothing for me there. Like Katie I do a home version, but with scrambled eggs.< /p>

McDonalds = unsweet tea and that is ALL!!

I had one at about 6 weeks. Had one bite of the whole shebang just to get it out of my system. Then just ate the egg & canadian bacon to finish up. Only got through about 2/3.

At 6 weeks you should probably start getting back to a more normal, a NEW normal diet. You've had the majority of your stomach removed, so that early out, I suspect you'll be able to eat about a third of an egg mcmuffin.

I had one but only take a few bites of the bread so I can get the taste then eat the egg.

The nice thing is eggs are filling, plenty of Protein, and you wont take a huge calorie hit if you use the egg substitute.

If you can handle any carbs go with a wheat tortilla instead and do a Breakfast burrito with fake sausage, turkey, chicken, low fat cheese, salsa, etc.
