Restaurant and only one week out :(



Recommended Posts

I am on my way to Golden Corral for a family birthday celebration. I don't typically like the restaurant except for a good salad, but it's still going to be hard to sit and just watch everyone eat.

Yeah I plan on sipping the juice out of the chicken noodle Soup. It's more of a mind thing to me.

I feel you! My family had burgers and hot dogs while I sipped Soup.

AYCE/Buffet type restaurants truly suck, don't they? Just designed for failure and over-indulgence, with everyone around you stuffing themselves. I have avoided them for the most part since surgery, but I did end up at a Chinese buffet with family a few weeks ago, and was happy just to enjoy the company and drink some Protein. I don't know if I could have done that happily at only one week out, though! Maybe you can take comfort in the fact that most of the food there is tasteless, reheated crap that has probably been coughed on, sneezed in and is crawling with human hair. :)

The coughed on sneezed on made me feel much better. Haha. However I just saw fruit and a chocolate fountain and almost cried. Lol!

It won't be that hard, as you will only want with. Good luck your eyes. If you go with your husband, kids. I would tell them to get you sup, it's not worth paying for a whole meal, and you will be lucky to get a couple of sips.If there are people there you don't want to know, just say you have a bit of a upset stomach. Good luck to you!

I feel your pain! Since my surgery on 4/8 I have been through my Dad's birthday dinner at a Mexican restaurant, a friends birthday BBQ and Easter dinner.

Just remember the liquid food phases are temporary and soon you will have other food options.

A cube of cheese would be most welcome to my tastebuds! There is a member on here that has a blog w recipes and she has one for a cheese soufflé. I think the website is www.twosleevers.com. I am making that tomorrow. Got busy today but def. trying it tomorrow.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
