Big Mac, Filet-O-Fish, Quarter Pounder, French Fries, Icy Coke, Milkshakes, Sundaes and Apple Pie!

OMG how was I able to eat a whole Big Mac!!!!!! Why do I do this to myself!!!! I didn't feel full, I didn't vomit, and I don't feel sick.... It took me half an hour but I was able to do it! I was sleeved on 1/8/13.... By now I should feel the restriction should I?? Also, yes, poor choice of food but I have to admit, it was delicious!!!!!!

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!!!

You can just chew on it and spit it out I hear its the best thing to do It's like the bulimia without the gag reflex ;) try it out I hear its all the thing

Come on now woman... I don't want to be a bulimic! I just wanted to enjoy a burger!

U ate it without the bread the worse part is the thousand island dressing. My god it's all protein! Stop worrying.

Come on now woman... I don't want to be a bulimic! I just wanted to enjoy a burger!

Then spit it out and no worries you won't be as long as you don't barf ;) hell I just had 1/2 a hot dog but I really did eat it all :)

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.
