Jessiebear 2 Posted February 16, 2006 Bravo Robyn!! Your weight loss is astounding!! I too have this problem! We went out last night & I ordered grilled Mahi Mahi with steamed veggies. I had 2 bites of the fish & 2 bites of veggies & I was done. The rest came home with me. When I do this though, I feel embarassed. And that is screwed up! I had WLS! Why am I embarassed?!!?

JennJones 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Going out to eat for me was always less about the food, more about the company. I'd rather have a glass of wine and eat practically nothing and I have no problem paying for food I'll only eat a little bit of either (doggy bags arent allowed in Australia due to health regulations). So be it, I'd rather be thin and healthy and occasionally waste some money on a meal than be my previous self. I just got banded a couple of weeks ago. I'm doing great and still on liquids but I was wondering about WINE and food. I assumed when I went out I could have one or the other but not both as we're not supposed to drink with food. Is this the case???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenny 1 Posted February 16, 2006 i'm so glad i'm not the only one with head problems 7 months on the 19 this month and i still have prob's although i can see i have improved a fair bit, i would never have thought of taking a little of each plate that is so good:clap2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
camille 0 Posted February 16, 2006 I agree with the doggy bags. I order what I want and eat my portion and eat on it for other meals. I guess that would not work in Australia, but I get my variety that way. Or today my husband took the shrimp off my plate for his lunch at work. My daughter did make the point I am having trouble knowing real hunger from head hunger and I really have a problem with the waiting to drink. In Southeast MO. iced tea is a part of almost all meals.

Jachut 487 Posted February 16, 2006 Jenn I just do it when I go out. I only have a glass, sipped slowly anyway because usually I'm driving so I dont worry about it. And I dont find drinking in small quanitities with my meals makes any difference to me. I dont bother with Water or anything else but if it's a special meal and I want wine, I have it. Ditto to coffee half an hour or so afterwards. I'm usually only going home to bed after than anyway and am not a night eater at all so it's not problem for me.
