Restaurants and gastric sleeve card



Recommended Posts

I love taking left overs home but I don't eat them. I like that my husband, son, or daughter eats them. When I've asked about price break after asking for a really small portion they've told me no. I completely forgot about ordering a side. Lol :)

What are some restaurants that honor the sleeve card so you can get a child's plate? I'm having trouble finding some.

At cracker Barrell you can always order from the kids menu with or without your card.

That's interesting about the card. Haven't heard about that. I will definately look in to restaurants that are sleeve friendly.

My surgeon provided me with a similar card and I have used it twice. Once the restaurant was wonderful and accommodating. The other time, the place wouldn't reduce the fee but would reduce the portion. The latter place is not longer a restaurant my family and friends will go as a result. I'm sure I'll encounter other places that will try to stick to their "kids menu for kids under 12" rule... And I'm prepared to leave.

I used my card only once that was at a all you can eat buffet and she was so nice she gave me the kids price and told me another person came in today with the same request but some of the restaurants kids meals are terrible so I share with whom ever I go out to dinner with or I get a appetizer. But believe me my boyfriend and I have saved a lot of money the passed 4months because we would eat out every weekend. :)

I was given the card, never used it. Our resturant habits changed a lot once I was sleeved. We tend to eat "family style" now and only order what we think we will eat as a family, not on an individual basis. I have two young kids and my wife and all of us can easily eat from two dinner plates. Depending on the resturant, we can get a way with one appitizer plate and a dinner.< /p>

We never go to buffet's anymore, overpriced, crappy canned/mass produced food warmed up in a microwave.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
