Going to Vegas - sleeve friendly places to eat?



Recommended Posts

Since Vegas is built on HUGE buffets - anyone know sleeve-friendly places to eat?

I would hate to pay $15 for a buffet, then eat like 3 bites of food. My hotel won't have a frig, so can't store leftovers.

thanks!

Hi, I would ask your doctor to write you a note stating you had surgery and that you can only eat a child's portion and hopefully they will allow you to have their children's rates on the buffets

I showed my surgery card & many places gave me the child rates when I was in Vegas last year. When they saw what I ate, the staff kept asking me how I could exist on such small amounts. It was funny!

I just got back from Vegas and I went to restaurants and shared a meal with my Sister - After she saw how much I was able to eat she did not mind sharing. We went to the Hard Rock - on the strip and shared the Pulled Pork Sandwich - (it is actually chicken) I just took a couple of spoon fulls of the chicken from the sandwich and had a bite if the Beans and slaw and I was full. Another day we went to Popeye's and I got some chicken there. It is just past Fry's beyond the Luxor on the south end of the strip. I also had some Jerky (High Protein and you will not need a fridge) and some Pig skins to much on between meals. You can also take some of the Protein Drink mixes and grab a water bottle while you are walking around. I also grabbed milk at the 7-11 on the strip to get me between meals - There is quite a bit of Protein in Milk. Hope this will help give you some ideas and have fun in Vegas! :D

      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.
