I went to the waffle house with my fiance, his 11 year old daughter, and my 14 year old son. I had a piece of sausage and 1 scrambled egg. I looked around on our table and said man, y'all eat a lot!!! Then I remembered I used to eat like that! Thank you, thank you to my band buddy!

yes on the discovery at Waffle House.....I enjoyed a road trip thru the South about 4 years postOp and Bandster eating in restaurants was still a new experiment for me.....

I do recall though, even though the food was tasty and way more plentiful that ~I~ wanted, the small orders I did get shared with others in my party.....

I've never seen "pork chops" cut so thin....and if the bacon was any thinner sliced there would have been only one side to it!!!

Even now traveling, mostly I order either just appetizers or Soup, or take a box along if it will keep.

I have managed how to communicate during ordering to show the size of whatever it is I want to order.

When I was just coming into the REAL food phase postOp, I attended a banquet with a friend. My own tiny meal was plenty. I was almost nauseated by seeing the 3rd & 4th heaping plates going to some folks, and huge gooey Desserts.

It was an important part of my given up my old eating pattern, just to watch the carnage around me. My friend ate a very sensible portion, which helped center me on what MY meal really was about.

      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.
