For Those That Have Been Sleeved For A While

[lsereno 2,525]

How long did it take before you were actually able to sit down and eat a meal! And dont get me wrong i love my sleeve the not being able to eat part is whats helping my weightloss' date=' but Im just kind of wonderin when i can go on a date and actually be able to eat a meal as opposed to 3 bites and go damn im full.. ..[/quote']

At 10 months out, I love eating out. I've always been a bit of a foodie. I mostly order smaller items, eat at restaurants that serve "family style" or split a dinner. I always have left overs if I order anything bigger than an appetizer that I eat on my own. But so what? I love a good left over!! I am able to eat and drink enough that I don't stand out from my skinny friends who haven't had the op.

Yesterday we ate at a fabulous nor cal costal restaurant, Sams. I had a nice little cocktail, the manhattan chowder (left the potatoes in the bowl), a half slice of sourdough bread and 1/2 of my appetizer main course: seafood bruschetta. It was insanely good and I enjoyed the rest of my bruschetta at lunch today.

Same as others- I often share with whoever I'm eating with. I've also discovered the joy of creative ordering - side dishes, appetizers, and a la carte items are great!

I am only three months out, and not on the dating circuit, but we try to go for tapas or small plates. I love ordering a steak and eating part and taking the rest home. Tonight we ate at a ramen place and also had sushi. The experience and the company is worth more than the food. Take home what you want and throw away what you don't want.
