Ate Red Lobster tonight (pic)

I hate eating out for a few reasons. I won't eat out with people who don't know about my surgery now (just family and close friends) because of comments made each time I've tried... nothing to drink? are you sure? why aren't you eating? and the waitress kept asking over and over and then pointing out to everyone at the table that's is ok, they don't charge for Water. I wanted to crawl under the table and die...especially when she brought me a tea with my meal and then looked all offended when I didn't drink it. I just order a water and let it sit there, or ask for my drink in a to-go cup.

I think next time I'll simply say "no thanks, I don't drink with my meals." Hopefully they'll leave it alone after that... And I hate that they think its about $!

I have a card that explains but I've only had an issue with Swiss Chalet. Waitress didn't want to let me order from the kids menu. I've also eaten at the bar and hubby and I share. I take a little meat and some veg. Makes it a cheap dinner too because we're only paying for 1 meal. :)

I think I may start sharing like you said. I don't eat enough for my own plate!

I always share or just order an appetizer. I do always tip extra though., as if we it's two Entrees. I think that's fair since we're taking the servers table from what would otherwise be a higher sale.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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!
