First restaurant post-op



Recommended Posts

I've been invited to a restaurant (actually, dinner theatre which I think is some sort of dinner we eat whilst light entertainment is performed) and it's my first time eating out post-op. Bit nervous.

I figure salad or fish should be on the menu at the very least (can't eat meat coz it's not halal). Please don't let it be a set menu!!

Can you call the venue and ask what the menu is? That way you can be prepared. And if nothing else, you can eat something or drink a Protein Shake before if there isn't anything that works.

I find the whole experience of going out to eat after having surgery to be the worst! I agree with @notmyname, try drinking a Protein Shake beforehand! Easy way to enjoy the show without having to worry about the food!

You can never go wrong with just ordering drinks, iced or tea or coffee brink your sugar substitute and Creamer or eat small sides which are usually vegetables.. you can even eat before you go then just enjoy the festivities with Water !

Good luck !

Thanks guys, Imma ring today and find out what the options are. If there isn't doable, I'll sneak a Protein Bar and some nuts in my bag and work with coffee.

So turns out there is a veggie option [emoji818]️ let's just hope it's not full of starchy carbs and fat.

I did it lads. Turns out steamed salmon was on the menu. It came with a creamy sauce but I just avoided that and there were some veggies I ate with it. For dessert we got a plate of petit fours. Lads, I DIDN'T EAT THE chocolate BROWNIE OR THE MERINGUE! OK I ate the mini apple pie thingy but it was really tiny me not too sweet.

I am so proud of myself!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
