Ok, kinda silly...but a bunch of ladies and I went walking together. 2mile walk..They all wanted to do lunch out after. I was unprepared, but ok, I'll go. I haven't gone out to eat since surgery. Have to try it at some point. Looked at menu..eek. not really anything on my kinda list. So I choose the Buffalo chicken salad with Salad Dressing on the side. I surprised myself, I only ate my correct size portion, I used myfitnesspal app to be sure calorie count was fine and I hadn't over carbed it. I didn't drink before or after like I am supposed to. I ate slowly and did not over eat. And best of all I did not resort to my old bad ways. No overstuffing myself, ordering everything on the menu or eating the most unhealthy food there... And I enjoyed my lunch out with friends. I can survive the real world! I can keep in control of my eating...I feel happy and in control. Now eating out is NOT going to be often in my life. Sticking to the program. Today was a treat...but not an out of control treat! Ok...what's the next adventure!

You did great! I eat out a lot and stick to my plan. I have found there is always something I can order, modify if necessary, and take leftovers home.

When I eat out, I cannot eat much. I have lots of leftovers, even when ordering appetizers. Our restaurants really do put way too much on our plates.

      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.
