Default I BEAT MCDONALDS!! Yeah!!

I have been dieting for several weeks (around 3), the first 2 weeks I restricted myself to 900 calories a day, but when I found out my sx wasn't until April (don't bring it up!) I increased my allowance to around 1200 a day.

sooooo..... we stopped at McD's today with the kids. I grabbed the nutritional info and chose and small fruit/yogart parfait and a 4 piece chicken mcnugget. (I was going to go for the salad, but just could think of eating another salad....)

but here is my YEAH.... I didn't take ONE BITE off anyones plate..no fry, no cheeseburger sneak....NOTHING.

I just knew that if I had a bite, I wouldn't be able to stop. I tried not to think about the "goodies" or look at them. I watched the kids in the play area and just ate what was in front of me.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Good for you.....!!! Post-op, watch the yogurt there, as it's probably got more sugar than you want to test the pouch with! I've avoided the place mostly, and I've had exactly 5 McD's french fries since surgery, against my daughter's wishes!!!

You did great not taking the other foods. The food at Mc Donalds agrees with me the best. We have tried the other fast foods and I have trouble with the hamburgers(I throw the bun away except the hamburger & cheese). Actually I have trouble with all hamburgers even when I make them at home. Now at home I can eat meatloaf and meatballs. I have a little trouble with barbaque. This is what my husband and I do when we eat at Mc Donalds, we order the 10 piece chicken McNuggets and small order of fries. This is what I have is 3 of those chicken mcnuggets and only about 5 fries. I did eat 10 fries one time and they did not agree with me so I cut it down to about 5 fries and that agrees with me the best. My husband eats the rest. Most of the time my husband and I usually eat on the way home and we eat protein bars. Eating out is not so much fun, like it use to be. This makes my husband very happy becasue he never did like eating out.

Hey That Is Great Hun. Be So Proud Of Your Self!!! But Once You Have Surgery I Would Stay Away From Everything At Fast Food Joints!!!! Their Stuff Is All High In Sugars, Fats And Calories. Remember Those Chicken Nuggets Are Coated And Fried. So Post Op Dont Fool Around With Any Of These Places.

Congrates on the will power, that is just so good that you were able to sit there and not even take a small nibble. Keep up the good work.
