Hi all,

I was just banded on Monday and I keep thinking about this guy at work who was banded in April. He has lost 110lbs in just 6 months and he told me that he eats ice cream every night. He said that he eats ice cream every night even immediately post-op and I think about the ice cream in my freezer.

He also recently told me that every day on his way in to work, he stops at Mcdonalds and orders a scrambled egg and sausage patty. this is his Breakfast every day. However, he still continues to lose weight at a rapid rate.

What is you opinion of eating ice cream?

What about McDonalds? I don't really like McDonalds, but I thought it was strange that he thought this was ok.

It's funny that this post has come to life again because just last week I was talking to this same co-worker.

He was telling me what I should be eating because when he was 7 months post-op like me he had already lost 140lbs. I have only lost a little over half that. I reminded him that I am a woman...and that I am different than he is. It's working for me, but just at a different rate.

He tried to tell me it's becauese I am exercising too much and my body doesn't want to lose weight. Then he told me that I should stop at McD's every morning, just like him and eat sausage,egg & coffee on the way to work. I tried to explain to him that I can't eat in the morning and I absolutely cannot tolerate eggs anymore. He looks at me like I am crazy...just bc he isn't experiencing it, I must not be either. He then told me that if I had went to his dr, then I wouldn't have those problems. WTF????

Haha! Well, you know what they say......There's only one thing worse than a know-it-all, that's someone who thinks they know it all.:huh2:

Wow... lol...

I am amazed that he can eat all that in the morning! I am lucky to get anything other than my protein shake down before 11:00 a.m.
