I'm about 11weeks post op and feeling great, been out to eat a couple times but usually just got Soup. Yesterday went to Applebee's with the family and my youngest was looking at the children's menu and said hey dad they have a 4oz steak that would be perfect for you and it comes with mozzarella sticks, which we could share if you want. we all started laughing then after thinking about it I was like that's actually a good idea so I went ahead and ordered it, you could choose from a bunch of different sides but since I knew the steak would be plenty so I got the mozzarella sticks for the boys. let me tell you that steak was the perfect size for me and the price was great, which was around $6, will defiantly be ordering this again.

I eat at Applebees with my mom all the time. I usually order the french onion Soup without the cheese and bread. I also order a side of grilled shrimp. I take home what ever I don't eat. Works out great. I will have to look at the child's menu for the steak. ;)

I've been out a couple of times and just brought home the extras. I hate paying for a big meal that I know I won't eat. Today for lunch I ordered from the kid menu and it was perfect!

My hospital gave me a card to carry with me that discreetly shows I had weight loss surgery so I can order off a kid menu, just in case I get questioned. Not all restaurants will do it, though.

My first time out was a Tapas restaurant. It was perfect with the small plates. I ordered pork meatballs which were great! Last night we went out and I ate a mussel appetizer for dinner

      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.
