Red Lobster is one of a few restaurants that have special meals for WLS people. My daughter worked there and told me. I am happy :)

Plenty of options there! I'd do salmon, crab legs, or grilled shrimp - hold the butter.

Hey shrinkinmama, I actually went there last friday and my husband ordered a steak that came with mashed potatoes and it also came with a grilled skewer of shrimp, so I just had a couple of the shrimp from his meal. But my original plan was to order shrimp scampi. I had a TINY bite of one of the biscuits because who can resist them?? lol Hope that helps! :)

I actually went a few days ago. Now I will say Im not a seafood person, the only thing close to seafood I eat is canned tuna with mayo and relish lol.

I got a chicken ceasar salad which was soooo good. They do have alot of healthy options on their menu (Lighthouse), my friend got the Sailors Platter (not so healthy since it came with breaded shrimp) but the broiled fish that was used I actually really liked it, it was very mild, not much of a fish taste. Next time I go Im going to ask what kind that was used, I would eat that again.

I found this on their site: http://www.redlobster.com/health/

Check out the Lighthouse Calculator in the lower right hand corner of that page.

You could also just order off the kid's menu.

red lobster. Have you eaten there? What do you order?

I love Red Lobster, they have great steaks - and of course fried clams, shrimp - all that great stuff.. Then they make these super special rolls, not to mention great salads and desert. :( (my mouth is watering)

Won't eat that anymore. :angry: but they have great other stuff too

I love their salmon - they give a big piece, now i will take more than 1/2 home.

Their food is great, so next week-end DH and i have an over due "date"

Krysty - thanx for the great web site for Red Loster showing menu

How about all of us sleevers go to Red Lobster one night, whose buying :lol:

Red Lobster is my and my daughter's favorite place to eat out for self-treating. We share the build-your-own meal and choose three. We get stuffed flounder, shrimp scampi and either Walt's shrimp or baked salmon. We can both eat our fill there and each take enough home for another meal. So...basically for price of one meal, we get four out of it. We share Soup or salad and have a few bites of biscuit and we are totally satisfied. Good for us and good for our budgets. Can't beat that with a stick!!

At two months out, you should be able add in the soft fish and shrimp, salmon too if you take small bites and chew it well.

Red Lobster, here you come!!!

Fish cooked properly really shouldn't taste fishy. As a matter of fact, tuna is more "fishy" than properly prepared fish should ever be. I'm always sad when people get turned off to seafood because their first exposure was poorly prepared. Kept me from eating fish for YEARS. So glad I learned differently. It is a great lean Protein that can easily take on the flavor of whatever you prepare it with.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
