Need Help Choosing What To Eat At A Restaurant - Specific Examples



Recommended Posts

Sorry to chime in so late but do the have an antipasto.salad? It's usually loaded with Protein & little to no carbs. Just a thought.

Or maybe a different restaurant??

Thanks everyone. It is more his way to Celebrate then mine. My celebration is the 5k itself :)

He works far from home and I only see him 1.5 weeks a month, and where he works they have no restaurants. He also was raised italian, so I am humouring him and let him think its about me, but I can tell he really wants to eat italian and its the only one near our hotel. This will only be like my 3rd time eating out altogether since surgery, and as it is clearly not a habit, I am willing to eat somewhere that does not necessarily have the best choices, so he can enjoy it. The chicken parmigiana is definitely the best option. I looked at everything and calculated the Protein to calorie percentage and it was the highest, it also comes with Pasta which I won't be touching so overall in the end its not going to be too unhealthy, and will have pretty high Protein.< /p>

I thank you all for your advice! This forum has always been so helpful.

And thanks for the congratulations. I will probably post to let you all know how it goes :)

You are so sweet. My husband works away from home too, but we get most weekends. It's tough, but it makes it that much more special when we do see each other.

Isn't it funny how chicken is so tough on my sleeves. I can only eat a bit of it, but can eat larger amounts of most anything else. Dunk it fairly well and eat the cheese. I was thinking that you might be able to get them to give you an unbreaded chicken breast. It's worth a try. If they use frozen breaded ones then you are SOL. Breading is not too bad though. We eat so little that it really doesn't matter too much.

      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.
