Well I didn't get groceries this weekend and had nothing for Breakfast. I went to McDonald's website to check out the nutrition info since its on my way to work. I decided on a mcmuffin. Without the top bun it was 230 calories. I haven't eaten fast food in about a year or so (except chipotle) and boy was I sick! I felt bad for about an hour. So not worth it! It didnt even taste good! I got groceries after work!

I did have a big mac

Did it go all the way through or does it feel stuck in your throat/chest? I ate some fries the other day and they wouldn't go down. I thought that I was gonna die. I need to find a good support group! Maybe I shoulda got food addiction therapy before taking on this journey. I would recommend that to anyone that is going to get this surgery if they have an addiction. I made my family a pizza just a little bit ago. Oh man, I want a piece so bad. Trying to resist!

I think that a burger every rare occasion is ok if you can handle it. I mean.... We only have one life. I personally don't want to live on Protein shakes and eggs my whole life. Everything in moderation. You ate a whole burger! Savor it. But don't get out of control. That's just my VERY humble opinion from a newbie!!!

As I said before, this may or may not be true..

I really feel though if you wanted to cheat the sleeve you could.. All of us ate before to the point of being miserable? Right? Well same thing you just have to work at it eat rest eat...

That's why it is so important to deal with the emotional side also.

Sexy, I was sleeved about 1 week before you. I can't fathom eating a Big Mac, but that is probably because I haven't had a desire to (I'm just lucky that I don't have hunger).

I don't think you're really asking for advice or support (based on your original post), so I won't give any.

But to those other people who are pre-op and alarmed by this, your reaction is normal, but keep in mind, this is not the typical VSG post-op experience.

      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

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
