ok I am still pre-op and on my 2 wk liquids so i am just sitting and dreaming about food that i can't have. (of course, i'm having a Protein shake and not really hungry, just my brain working).

I am very ready for this, it has been 3 years in the planning. However, one of my very favorite things is a simple Mcdonald's cheeseburger and small fry.

I know what it's made of, i know all the media coverage of lipids, liver enzymes, etc...BUT, i still like it every now and then.

Considering that my taste buds may change and i may never want it again, i'm also wondering who still indulges in McD's post-op? if i WANT to, will i eventually be able to account for it and enjoy this every few months?

I ate half of a burger at almost 3 months post op and felt ok. Kinda full but ok. No space for fries or anything else just a few bites of the sandwich.

I loved McDonald's cheeseburger before surgery but now I can't eat it. The meat taste like gristly. Never notice it before

I hear you!!

I am less that two weeks post op and on liquids and my brain is going crazy! I hate drinking my food, always have. I was never one for milkshakes, yogurt, smoothies, soup, etc. to this has really been a challenge.

I've gotten to the point that the idea of drinking another protein supplement makes me feel sick. I've basically been drinking fairlife for my protein.

My goal isn't to say no to McD in the future. My goal is for it to be a "sometimes" thing cause I would prefer something that is natural and makes me feel good.

Watch the founder and you won't want McDonald's that ray kroc was an ass lol

HAHAHA yup!

I have said No to McD's and the like for more than 5 years. I tried 1 fry in all that time and remembered why I never ate that garbage.

There was a running joke in my family because my dog would not eat McD's or any other fast food. He would sniff and walk away. Think about guys. :)

I love to read my old posts. i'm now well over 3 years post op. I had great success but have had some regain recently. i'm still a work in progress.
yes, I still occasionally have mcdonald's, and my meal is a cheeseburger and fry. now here's the real scoop- I rip about 75% of the bun away, leaving just enough thin material to hold it all together, and I can eat about 8 fries with it. that's it. sometimes, though, this really hits the spot!!!

I just have a plain hamburger and take the top bun off
