Took my kids to McDonalds!

Hi, After reading Connies post about the lunch out with firinds (good job Connie), I thought I would post that today,...one of the first days I am feeling somewhat better..(finally off the damm liquids) and getting some nutrition (the protein powders and I never have agreed yet) Anyway, had to go buy diapers for my little one. I have 2 girls, 4 and 2 years old. They know Walmart as one thing only...FRENCH FRIES..I wonder why? This was my biggest fear...and Mc'ds ff's were my last supper...LOVE THEM... So we got our things, went in, ordered the "stuff'..though I felt like I was committing a criminal act in doing so...Kept looking over my shoulder for my Doctor, Nutrtionist or ONE OF YOU GUYS!! HAHA! Sat down, they had a few nuggets and some FF's...boy they did smell good...and I did have to blow on a few b/c they were very hot...instinctively I licked my fingers which were covered in salt..and you know..that was perfect. Tasted like salt...but to me it was like eating the fry. I never did eat one. Huge success for me. I knew I could do it, but doing it the first time I think is tough, but I am sure every event will be tough. Just wanted to share. Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. I havent been in and posting much because of the above mentioned 'kiddos'. They are keeping me busy. Take care, Kris

Great Kris! I have 2 young grandkids that I take to our famous "50s Diner" style MacDonald's in town, and I am dreading that exact situation. Hope I will be as strong. One good thing, they are 8 and 10 now and "finish" their meals!

You're a GREAT MOM!!! I knew this is one thing I knew I could never do.. even smelling it.. let alone having to sit there.... YOU ROCK!!!!!!!

Kris, Wow! You're a braver woman than I am. I don't trust myself around Mickey D's so I just can't go there. I probably would have gnawed on my own fingers after picking up the ff's and blowing on them. Connie

Way to go Kris!!! Isn't it hard?? It will get easier though. Trust me. But you know what is kinda funny... I find myself watching the food channel all the time since I had this surgery LOL WHY OH WHY DO WE TORTURE OURSELVES?? Bethany AKA Da Offishal Riddler and Bertha 23 Days into NewPouch and feeling great! -28 lbs!!!! Yayyyy A riddle a day will keep the Marchers pounds AWAY!

EXCELLENT!! Take a victory lap, Kris!! You are entitled to puff out your chest and proclaim "I am Kris, the Conqueror!!!" Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles

God Job!!!! I'm dreading that first fastfood trip with my daughter. So far she hasn't asked, which is good! She'd prefer to eat the fresh fish and veggies I'm making fro me! mgm

WAY TO GO KRIS Shannon The Irish Lassie -14.5 in 8 days

I don't have any children or live with anyone, so I don't see this as a huge problem. But the day I got out of the hospital, I had family here to take care of me for 2 weeks, my family members decided to go out for a prime rib dinner. I went and had yummy water and watered apple juice while they enjoyed a juicy dinner. Lucky I wasn't feeling that hot, but as I started to feel better the food started to smell better. Then it started to get harder, but I think it is always hard when we know we can't have something. We normally want it more. Margaret
