Restaurant and only one week out :(

[browneyedgirl1981 32]

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.

Ask for some blended Soup?

[browneyedgirl1981 32]

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!

We were invited to BBQ restaurant for a bday party tonight. I am 11 days out still on Clear Liquids and Protein Shakes. I know I can't handle going I am always hungry it seems.

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.

I can't wait to have real food! Just a cheese cube would be fabulous!

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.
