Can you still eat in restaurants?

When traveling I eat the egg white and white cheese out of the as sandwich, ask for side order of scrambled eggs, or Wendy's chili. I have continued to lose weight on every vacation since I had the sleeve surgery! Plan ahead and look up foods or bring things with you in a cooler.

I had this on Friday night when we went out for our anniversary. It is an appetiser of crispy pork with scampi, pickled cucumber and radish, and avocado. It was DIVINE. I didn't finish the cucumber.

I went to dinner at Cafe Rio last night - we needed something quick and I didn't plan ahead to eat at home...

I ordered a Single Taco Meal - I had my taco made with roast beef and had them hold the rice, but would like pinto Beans on the side.

I ate the inside of the taco which included cheese, the roast beef and some lettuce topped off with some pico. I ate some of the Beans, but not a lot - maybe one tablespoon. I even ate some of the shell, but knowing I don't feel well after I eat a lot of carbs, I took it easy. I was completely satisfied.

It was delish!

Yes, I can have pork as Protein. I am 20 months post OP so there isn't really anything I 'can't' have, though there are still some things that don't agree with me.

A good go to at any place is a grilled chicken sandwich minus the bread. I eat the lettuce and Tomato as a salad on the side when I'm able to. Didn't really eat out until after 7 weeks post op though.

I ordered from Jimmy Johns last night and got an Unwich for the first time. Same sandwich, no bread, wrapped in lettuce...it was actually pretty good. I felt like a sap paying that much for the sandwich! LOL

Since my original post, I have to say that I am enjoying dining out more. I like to go to restaurants that serve tapas - small portions that are shared across the table such as Nordstrom's Blue Stove. I enjoy grilled scallops served over a salad. I also occaisionally go to 5 Guys and get a bunless cheese burger with mushrooms, pepper, onions and A1 sauce. I also go to Chipotle and get a burrito bowl, no rice, double Beans and pork (carnitas). I did just manage to eat a chicken quesadilla - all of the "fast food" items I get at least 2 meals out of. So, definately, my options are getting better with time.

      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.

        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!
