I hate big macs. Having said that...

I'm just shaking my head at how you defend your ability to eat junk food whenever you want ... do you honestly believe you have the 'right' to eat crap just because you've already lost all your excess weight and us Newbies haven't yet?
Yes. Its called moderation.

Do you really think that you've 'earned' a Big Mac and a Coke?
No. Its not a reward per se but a conscious choice derived from learning to change your habits. 3 years ago I would have eaten 3 1/4 pounders and a 64 ounce coke. Now I might ocassionaly indulge in 1/2 quarter pounder and a small diet coke.

WLS is ultimately about moderation, not deprivation.


If the food choices dont work for you dont eat them. As you get further along though I bet you will change your PoV.

I have NEVER said I was perfect and I have many times confessed my personal struggles with food. BUT... I also NEVER ate crap newly post op...period, end of story.
I did = ( I practically lived on tabasco cheez-its for the first 3 months. Its all I could stomach.
