Child's portion card?



Recommended Posts

I thought they were more for when you go to a buffet. You can get a discount rate at a buffet if you have one of those cards. I would still pass because I mostly eat seafood, I will still get my moneys worth.

I have one that mentions small portions. I've used it a few times.

It’s up to the restaurant. Many will allow adults to order from the children’s menu, especially if you explain that you have a legitimate reason. Some may be more willing to allow you if you have an official-looking doctor’s note or card, but they’re not obligated to. Whether or not you are permitted to order children’s sized portions, remember you always get to decide how much to eat, even if you don’t get to choose how much you’re served!

I have a card my surgeon gave me and since I'm a picky eater I do give it to the people when I go to buffet and since I was going to those restaurants since before I had surgery they know me pretty well and they charge me the child price instead of the adult. So to me in those instances it is worth it. At the average restaurant though it is not worth it to me since the kids menu is not all that great and is geared towards kids and their palates. I would try here and there to see if they are willing once and awhile to offer a discount since you can't eat an average adult portion but since I do get to take the food home and get a second meal out of it I tend not to even care!

My doctor gave me two cards saying "The bearer of this card has had gastric limiting surgery and can only eat small portions of food. Please allow him/her to purchase a child's plate".

My Doctor gave me one. A lot of restaurants honor it.

It's not just for ordering from kids menu. Some give you less food with the smaller price.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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.

      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!
