Ooo. Either scares me. Crab cakes can be greasy (butter) ask how they are prepared. Also the romulade (sp?) can be mayo based so go light. The crab Soup is the same way. broth based should be a go but cream based, I wouldn't eat in a restaurant. Probably high fat. Get details of how they made. You be ok. :-)

I've eaten crab cakes a couple times, but only in my house where I was able to prepare them without a lot of grease and fat. Like worm suggested, you should ask your server. I used to work in the restaurant biz and any decent server will have no problems helping you find something or making special requests for how to prepare your food (after all- you're paying for it!) It is a little nerve-wracking, but just enjoy your company and evening and you'll be fine. Besides, it's not like you'll be eating a full portion!

Guys I was scared to eat it or anything else for that matter. I ordered the crab cake but I barely ate it.

But on a good note everyone said to me did I lose weight lol. I said a little I can't tell like that on myself but I guess with them I did... All smiles over here

      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.
