First Time Eating Out...



Recommended Posts

And I felt OK about it! I was really worried because of the temptation of all the food on the table .. But i really didn't feel tempted!! :) I ordered lobster bisque (I'm 11 days post op) ate some and wrapped up the rest... I must admit it felt good to sit at a restaurant. My husband who is THE MoST SUPPORTIVE person EVER kept asking me if I was ok, and even reminded me a few times to take it easy (the Soup was sooo good and I expressed to him that I didn't want to overdo it)

I know it's not much, but I'm glad I got this part of my journey behind me .. And now I know that every time I go to a restaurant I have to recognize my weaknesses, face them, and move on.

I didn't know we could have a lobster bisque. I am very proud of you. Can I ask how much protien was in it?

Probably very little - I'm sipping on an extra Protein shake right now to make up for it :)

It's NOT so bad, is it MamaT? I went to a steak house with my hubby, sis and bro-in-law. They had amazing looking ribs and steak and I had Soup. And while it all looked and smelled awesome, I was just happy to be able to eat out, order something off the menu, leave full/content and just enjoy the night! :-D

I was 4 wks PO and I went to a Cajun restaurant and had seafood gumbo no rice no shrimp just juice. Very little crab meat. That was the best tasting thing ever.

      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.
