What Would You Recommend At A Restaurant?!



Recommended Posts

Once again I hope this is not a stupid question, but I will be starting solids next and it just happens to be my birthday!!(Day 3 of solids) I found out that it is at a greek restaurant..Nobody really knows that I have had this done, so does anyone have any suggestions that may go down easy?? I was looking for Soup but it is not their specialty...

Hey,

I haven't seen any other postings about Greek food. Most Greek restaurants have avglommeno (sp?) Soup. You could also maybe eat the insides of a dolmade. I believe that's finely chopped meat inside a grape leaf. Both are Greek specialties.

I suppose you know this already, but look at the online menu in advance. I can't go anywhere without doing that.

Good luck and happy birthday!

Ooooh love Greek food!

Hummus and Feta cheese are 2 options, and yes the Soups are always safe:)

Greek places usually have chicken cabobbs sp? with grilled veggies and without (use tksiki sp if necessary) . If they don't have lemon soup find another Greek place!

Higher in fat pasticho (baked Pasta may have ground lamb). Mousaka baked veggies and potato probably would go down well; but has white sauce so high calories. May have fish as well.

Stay away from spanocopita/tiropita may get clumpy in the pouch (and crazy high calories).

If you can eat potato Greek roasted potato with garlic is too die for!

What makes you feel you will have trouble getting anything down?

How many fills have you had?

      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.
