Thank you all for all the good info. Agree that kids menu is nothing but junk food anyways. It makes sence and is convenient to order a regular size high Protein mean and save it for 2 more portions for home. Last night was the first time that i didnt order anything a at red robin and i just got some grill chicken from my daughters plate, a piece of fish from my son and a couple of fries and onion rings from the hubby. I was so full lol! that saved us money too. :)

One plan that worked for me was to ask for the to go container up front when the meal is served. Then and transfer all but my allotted portion to the take out container, and eat what is left on the plate. They may look at your strange, but it is your dinner anad your right to get what you want. I don't do well with lettuce, so I order salads without the lettuce.... yes, don't let them tell you they can't do it!

I just order a regular healthy meal and take home! It turns into 3 meals during the week!

I, too, order what I want and pack the rest away for another day. I've even frozen a portion because I knew I wouldn't eat it before it went bad. Totally different lifestyle now. I'm learning every day.

      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.
