What dish or restaurant do you miss the most?

There is a soul food place here that serves meat loaf, Mac and cheese, candy yams and bouquets. I forget the name but yum...

There is a Japanese restaurant called Narutos that has an excellent terriaki chicken meal that also comes with tempura vegetables and one skewer of tempura shrimp. With rice, salad and little sushi bites. Before surgery, it was all I could do to eat the entire meal. I haven't been back since the surgery.

There are no restaurants that I miss, because I can eat at any restaurant. And the only foods I'm eager to have more often are those I choose not to have right now because I'd rather maximize my weight loss. I'll enjoy them in moderation after I get to my goal weight.

I'd rather focus on things that ARE on my plan, and how good I feel being more healthy.

There isn't a dish that tastes as good or a restaurant I miss as much as the satisfaction of the before/after picture below feels.

Right now since I'm only 10 days post op and can't eat it, I'm missing my favorite Chinese restaurant. The place I go to is so authentic, there are more Chinese people eating in there than white. My husband and I used to get it every weekend.

When I get to the point to where I can eat what I want, I'll get my Chinese again but I'll just be eating smaller portions.

Was gonna say the same as Lipsticklady. The hell with those places, I tried to kill myself at those places.

I can pretty much eat anywhere, just in smaller quantities. Mostly I don't miss anything, though, because NOTHING tastes as good as the feeling of the sales guy at banana Republic yesterday telling me, "oh sweetie, that 6 looks a little loose, do you want a snugger fit?"

I don't miss anything. I can eat everything. While baned, however (sleeve revision 10 mths ago), I missed pancakes, pizza crust and pineapple chunks (my fav fruit). All 3 of those items led me to the bathroom.

Early on, I missed ice cream, cuz it would make me dump. But now, I can eat about 6 bites of it and I'm good.

Luv my sleeve...

I don't really miss anything, my taste buds changed after I got sleeved and I tend to prefer grilled chicken salads all the time.

I really don't miss any of them because I still go to them but now I make much wiser choices and completely stay away from the carbs. I order veggies instead of the starch sides such as potatoes. I will say that some of the places that I used to love such as Cracker Barrel I frequent less because they really tempt the soul! :)

Honestly don't miss them. My attitude has done a 180 and even when I go out, I automatically scope out the menu for the healthy items and if the dish comes with starches, they go on my husband's plate :)

Besides, I am addicted to MFP and I want to make as accurate an entry as possible so I stick to what I know.

      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.
