at mine it's on the reverse of my dietician Roy's business card, my suspection and NOBODY really confirmed it. If some restaurant wants not to honor it they can call him for verification.

I was looking around in the bp store and saw one of these cards there. I thought that it may be helpful to those of you that do not have one.

Thank you so much for that link. This one is so much better than the flimsy cheapie one I got from my nutritionist. So I used my points on this site to purchase this nice one! Thx!

Suggestions for those restaurants that do not honor a weight loss surgery card:

Take a doggy bag! Save the rest for later!

Only order an appetizer, a Soup or a salad.< br>
Split a meal, most restaurants will provide a second plate to share a mail for free, some may charge you an extra dollar for the plate.

Please note:

Many chain restaurants are independently owned and operated and some may not honor the card.

There is no law compelling a restaurant to honor a weight loss surgery card (WLS).

      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.
