It is ok to eat out. Having the band teaches you moderation. I have learned in 2 /12 yrs that eating out is not a bad thing. I usually order something not fried and semi healthy. Eat 1/4 to 1/2 of it depending on the portion they give and take the rest home and get 2 more meals out of it. Having the band is about balance, not giving up everything.

Sometimes I just order an appetizer and that is enough to satisy me and I am not the only one still eating while everyone else is done.

I'm also going out to eat with my Mom this Monday. In preparation I looked up the menu and created a cheat sheet. It looks something like this: I know I won't be able to eat the entire salad, but by having the percentage of Protein calories I can make a better choice. Looks like I'm going with the Cilantro Lime chicken salad. :) BTW- this chart doesn't include the dressing, which I rarely use anyway.

CALORIES % Fat % Carb PROTEIN % Protein Cilantro Lime Chicken Salad 351 33% 25% 37 42% Chicken Caesar Salad 500 48% 12% 49 39% Cobb Salad 600 58% 7% 54 36% Mixed berry & Chicken Salad 485 52% 16% 40 33% Chicken Artichoke & Goat cheese 347 49% 18% 26 30% Pistachio Chicken Salad 490 31% 42% 35 29% Chicken Apple & Goat Cheese Salad 550 44% 29% 39 28% Citrus Salmon Caesar Salad 740 65% 10% 45 24% Raspberry Waldorf Chicken Salad 570 42% 35% 34 24% Niçoise Salad with Salmon 587 55% 21% 34 23% Blackened Salmon Caesar 800 68% 9% 46 23% Chopped Greek Salad with Chicken 440 64% 15% 25 23% Shrimp Louis Salad 440 68% 10% 25 23% Chinese Chicken Salad 540 54% 27% 28 21% Blue Cheese & Pear Salad 560 61% 30% 16 11% Roasted Beet & Goat Cheese Salad 370 59% 35% 9 10%

Google cheese Cake Factory and look up the calories. I think I got a baked salmon with baked potato last time I ate there.

I was there recently, I had the Thai chicken lettuce wraps from the appetizer menu. They give you some rice noodles to put in your lettuce cup but its easy to pass on those. Enjoy!

      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?

      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.
