1958 F.W.D. Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 In preparation for gastric bypass surgery (which coincidentally is tomorrow) I gave up carbonated beverages over 2 months ago, which I thought would be tough for me, as I never drank coffee in my life. My morning beverage was a 16oz bottle of Coke or Dr. Pepper. It was tough in the very beginning but now I am over it, and have lost close to 30 lbs.

mowerman Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The message I got from "Supersize Me" was not that McDonald's food was loaded with fat and bad carbs, I already knew that. What I learned is that a steady diet of unhealthful food will soon begin to take it's toll on your body..wait a second, I knew that too. What was that guy's point?IIRC, Mickey D's had no comment on the film. Smart PR move, IMO.they dont even say that,anymore,,,you simply say large if you wish to bump up the sizes.....bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowdyRebel Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 I enjoy hamburgers but try not to eat them very often. When I do, I prefer a more upscale restaurant, such as Wendy's.When I want a burger, I go to Show-Me's Quote When approaching a 4-way stop, the vehicle with the biggest tires has the right of way!

HeavyGunner Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Is Show-Me's a place to watch a fur burger while eating a hamburger?

Rob Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hope the surgery went well and a speedy recovery.I drank my first Coke in nine months over the weekend. Surprised I didn't even miss them and I used to put down about four per day.Can't seem to lose any weight though.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
