Can You Eat Out After This Type Of Surgery?

[BizTraveller 101]

You can absolutely eat out. I live on the road and have been eating out all over the world. I am writing this from Mallorca Spain. I had Tapas last night, and salt encrusted sea bass the night before. Part of the secret is to eat at better restaurants. The standard American chain restaurants are some of the toughest. Try the little trendier places. Small plates and Tapas-style eating is the rage all over the world. It makes WLS easy. Focus on small, interesting, and flavorful dishes. The sleeve gives you a reason to be more adventurous at the table. You don't have to limit yourself to chicken breast and salmon.

Try Sashimi and Yakatori, satay, a whole Thai fried snapper, grilled octopus, Iberico ham, scallops in XO sauce, dim sum, duck breast, braised lamb shank, etc.... You don't eat and drink as much now so you can afford to eat better.

The sleeve diesn't make you sacrifice much. It just gives you a kick in the pants and forces you to try new things. Once you do that, you realize that the stuff you ate before was pretty pitiful.

don't EVER feel bad about not ordering something and just snacking off your dinner partner's plate (with their permission' date=' of course); bring a cooler if you think you may have leftovers ![/quote']

Great tip about the cooler. I used to say the only unforgivable sin was wasting food. Now what am I going to do?

@willow: the only reason I go to McDonald's is to get their sugar free ice tea. Any size is $1 right now so it is a really super deal to get a large. For me, I like to add 8 Splenda to it. The drink lasts me for a while!

We still eat out. Myfitnesspal app is wonderful & has lots of diff restraunt foods listed so you can view calories, fat, Protein, sugar & carbs. I order fish, shrimp, or chicken normally when we go out. I also take home over half & eat on it the next day for lunch & dinner. We ate at "The Cotton Patch" today so now I hv dinner tonight & lunch tomorrow (fish & shrimp).

I eat out all the time and I would agree that appetizers or tapas are perfect. I also agree that having a small cooler with you is wondeful. I actually always have my small lunch bag size cooler with me with refreezeable ice packs. Ince I have lunch the leftovers go in. I also always have it in some baby bell, Jerky, Protein Bars and so on and I keep it in the cooler that way no melt.

McD's is still a go to do me also. I love the ice tea for a $1 but you can also order the grilled chicken breast only for $1 I get a honey mustard for dipping and I am happy.

What is tapas?

[crystalintville 66]

Yes, I do. This weekend we had guests over and ate out more than usual. Saturday lunch at greek sub place- side of marinated chicken, ate half. Sunday breakfast- ate sausage from biscuit, threw biscuit away, Sunday lunch at sit down country rest- shared off dh's plate 2 bites zucchini, 2 bites broccoli casserole, & a few bites of baked ham and pineapple. I usually try to order a side of grilled chicken or shrimp if I don't see a healthy kids meal (eat 1/2 or so) or don't want to share off someones plate.
