Restrauant list?



Recommended Posts

HI. Is there a list of what you can have when eating out? On Mushies and solid stages?

Restrauants such as Cracker Barrel, Applebee's, chinese, etc.

Thanks in advance! :thumbup: :D

I dont know a list but maybe you should stick to eating at home? Might make it easier to know what ur putting in ur body. But im sure someone has a list on where you can go and enjoy some food.< /p>

best of luck!:D

I am far past the pre-op stage, but I eat wherever I want. Just less. I do enjoy the weight watchers menu at Applebee's. I always have leftovers when I eat out, so I really look forward to those later!

Almost everywhere, I order a side dish or Soup. You cant go wrong with soups! The only time im sad is at resturants, because I use to LOVE to eat so much!

If im out, I check the Soups, and get a cup, or eat the chips and salsa, which is always good. Sometimes they will have a side of fresh veggies, which is great, or a potato, baked or mashed.

When I was on mushies (late mushies/soft) I would order a baked potato. Soup is also a good choice. If I went Mexican, I'd have the refried Beans. I don't think you are limited on restaurants - it may take a little longer to find what you want, but most restaurants have something you can have.

Now that I'm on solids, I don't limit myself. I usually ask if I can order from the kids menu. If I get grilled chicken I'll ask for a side of dressing (that way I can dip it in there and it goes down easier). Same for steak. I still have my leftovers and don't eat the bread that usually comes first.

We went to On the Border today for my last 'pre-band' restaurant meal. While I was there I checked out both the adult menu & the kids menu. I was thinking more solid stage but I saw the following I could have (from my understanding of what is OK)

-fajita salad (warm fajita meat, peppers & onions on a green salad)

-chicken tortilla Soup

-grilled chicken with 2 sides (kids meal)

-kids mexican dinner (soft or hard taco or cheese enchilada with 2 sides)

The sides include side salad, steamed or grilled veggies (can't remember which) fries & mexican rice.

FYI that I asked our waiter about ordering off the kids menu post-surgery & he said absolutely no problem. I hope that's true other places as well.

Be careful with the chips and salsa. I ate a couple too fast the other day and then I was stuck when my enchilada came to the table- it looked so good and I was frustrated! It was a corn tortilla enchilada and it wasn't very good when I reheated it. My husband chowed it down though when I didn't want it. He's starting to get mad because I keep giving him my extra food!:lol:

Soft tortillas can be a killer. I can eat chips and salsa just fine, but I wouldn't touch a soft tortilla.

Chile rellenos (which were never my favorite before) are now my Mexican meal of choice, or sometimes we just split an order of nachos.

Everybody has different foods they have difficulty with, so (after listing my own favorites) you will just have to figure out what works for you.

Snowbird: Im with you. Them Soft tortillas are killer on me to.. As much as I love them.... I usually stuck with chips or possible hard taco. But sometimes in the Mexican rest the shredder cheese gets me.

I don't know of any list but if you stick with American cuisine they usually have Soup, mashed potatoes (if you are allowed to have them). I went to a lot of deli/sandwich shops like Jason's deli, Potbelly, corner bakery, panera, etc. because they have a wide variety of Soups.< /p>

      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.
