Just wanted to pass on some info I learned the other night eating out at Red Robin.

The kids were dying to go there the other night and prior to going I looked on line for low carb options and I found out that you can get any of thier burgers or sandwiches on a lettuce bun and side salad instead of fries, I ordered the California chicken sand and was surprised at how good this was, it was served between to thick, crispy pieces of iceberg lettuce and wrapped in paper which made it easy to eat, I ate about 1/3rd and took the rest home and the next day my wife and I split the rest for lunch and it was just as good the next day.

My husband he always lets me substitute his fries for a cup of Soup. Its always just the right amount of food for me. If I need the calories I get the clam chowder but I normally get the chicken tortilla type.

If I am hungry (rarely) I get the blta and eat some of the croissant and then take the rest off and eat the inside, turkey, bacon, lettuce Tomato and avocado, makes a good meal the next couple days too.

We go to RR about 3x z month. Hubby always orders the same thing: a Royal Red Robin (burger with an egg and bacon), lettuc wrapped with a side salad. Also an fyi: tneir side salad is also bottomless. U can eat as much as u want, just like their fries. Hubby is a carb watcher and always orders his burgers "Protein style"

Carls Jr and In and Out also do a fabulous "protein style" buger/sandwich. Places like Burger King put the burger and veggies in a bowl and give u a fork. Not a true burger, in my opinion.

Personally I'm not a fan of lettuce wrapped burgers. A burger isn't a burger without the bun. But I know a lot of people like having the option.

Btw, I always get the Avo Cobbo salad at RR. Usually I end up tossing the leftovers after my 4th meal of it cuz I'm sick of it. I always get the dressing on the side so my leftovers aren't so soggy

RR is probably my favorite fast food. I usually get chicken tender salad with honey mustard

      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.
