What to order when dining out?



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone,

I just got banded on May 27, everything is going well. I have a question about eating dinner out. Next weekend is my birthday and my wonderful and very supportive husband wants to take me out for dinner. At that point I will be on pureed and blended food. I wondered what would be a good choice to order. We are thinking about Red Lobster where I could order fish. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

There mashed potatoes are very good and I would only stick with a Soup. There isn't much that is pureed in restaurants. Look at all side items and also what he is able to add on to his meal that you are able to eat.

My husband took me out to Celebrate my first fifteen pounds down and I was also on mushies. I did the broccoli cheese Soup and a plane baked potatoe. I put three tablespoons of the soup on the potatoe and munched it down. I even had the rest of the soup for lunch the next day! It was great!

      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.
