HI This actually sounds like a great idea! I like to go out with friends to eat and that is actually one of the things I am worried about. Eating is such a big part of the social situations we are involved in be it with work or out to dinner. Being able to order 1/2 would be nice. If not I just ask for a to go box when I get my meal and put 1/2 aside. I have 3 teens and I am sure that when I get home someone will eat it before I ever get the chance to eat it! Keep in touch!

I got my cards from the doctor before my surgery. Another thing....my husband and I went out to dinner on a night our electric was out. I am on my Optifast two-week pre-op diet and I took a packet of Soup and ordered a cup of tea plus another cup with just hot Water. I mixed my soup at the table and had that for my dinner. The waitress didn't seem to mind at all, just curious. The restaurant didn't charge me at all for the extra cup of water. So we still got to eat out together!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
