What dish or restaurant do you miss the most?



Recommended Posts

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.

        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
