So I've done great. Lost 130 pounds from my high weight of 298. Now at 168 which is less than my goal and under my personal goal. That was in 8 months. I'm 11 months post op.

So I ate a McDonalds cheeseburger and a quarter of a small fries today, ALL OF IT, and it wasn't a problem. Now, after 11 months of worrying that half a slice of pizza was eating too much, I killed a cheeseburger and some fries. And I'm stressing that I've stretched my pouch. My problem has been STOPPING losing weight, and I eat small portions.

Why was I able to eat all that with barely a "too full" burp, what gives? are McD's cheeseburgers just "that small," was I more full than I thought, should I shut up, count my blessings and be rational knowing even if I did eat too much this ONE time that I have not done irreparable damage?

How far post-op will I stop worrying? The fear of being heavy is strong (but not so strong that I didn't eat a cheeseburger today). Oh boy,...

McDonalds is highly processed and the content of your meal was mostly simple carbohydrates.. It's a slider food that can go down easily versus a high quality protein that will not digest as easily.
