Hi nursejen. i eat out alot and all I can say is fish, fish, and more fish. it goes down easy and is usually a good healthy choice as long as it's not fried and if there is any sauce, it's on the side so you can add it yourself. Enjoy!!

I eat out a lot socially so I googled the nutrition for all of my friends and my favorite eating spots. Anything under my calories count went on the list. So now when we go somewhere I pull up my list and choose from that.

That is a great idea. To have a list of the foods you like and the calorie count already done before you go. I like this.

I usually get a bowl of Soup and I eat so slow it last me through the appetizers and dinner. Desert a cup of coffee.

I eat out a real lot also. I have salads with salmon, chicken or shrimp. Eat the Protein first, they say. I also have grilled chicken at Italian restaurants with a little Pasta or meatballs with Tomato sauce. I do eat bread in restaurants but only the crust parts. I also have Chinese food. I have a luncheon special, eat half and bring the rest home. I do fine with eating out. My biggest miss is lobster. Since the band I can't chew it. I am from Boston, we live on lobster here. Good luck, enjoy yourself. Also look at the children's menu. I have a LapBand card explaining the band and asking the restaurants if I can order smaller portions.

It really depends on the restaurant but I mostly stick with chicken or fish.

I eat fish or chicken. Lemon baked sole is awesome with a side of corn. Or herb crusted chicken with green Beans. Usually the dinner comes with 2 sides, i get my vegtable and get the other side for my fiance which is usually fries for him. And yes sometimes i do steal a fry. But only 1 lol

I know in a previous post I said I get Soup and that is all correct but I have to say that for the most part my success is due to staying out of restaurants, diners, and dives.

I agree I am going to try to stay out by packing a cooler and bringing with me but when I fly I can not. Also I frequently have Business dinners/lunches so I frequently have no choice. I guess it sounds like I will be having chicken and fish!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
