First restaurant experience

IHOP charges 15.99 for an omelet? that seems like a lot! I agree with you--if you asked for the omelet a la carte, you would think that would come with a price reduction. Next time, could you eat a bit of your husband's omelet if he offers one, or order off of the kids' menu? At least you found something that worked well for you. And think, in the past, you probably would have happily paid to not gain and even lose weight!

Yeah Ihop charges 15.99...although I live in Hawaii so EVERYTHING is more expensive here. My husband hates eggs and I don't know if they will let me order from the kids menu. I was planning on ordering from the kids menu (because I was with my 2 yr. old) and just having her eat whatever daddy ate, but I really wanted an omelet...and so I asked. Yeah in the past I was always looking for the best deal that would get me the most food...haha. Now I'm trying to find the smallest portions.

That's a great new mind set--good for you! :-)

ironic isn't it?!

Weird- Ihop here in Ohio is one of the cheaper places to go. An omelet breakfast here is maybe 7-8 bucks.

i never order anything anymore when we go out for dinner , I usually take a little bit from my husbands plate .

My first experience last week was terrible. I thought they would have at least a Tuna melt on the menu, so I would take it off the bread, well they had nothing like that just big French dip sandwiches and burgers not even a grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was battered or deep fried. I ended up with a cup of homemade clam chowder, which I'm sure was a little heavy on the fat. But 4 bites and 4 saltines later I was stuffed:) Husband ate the rest.

yeah I don't think I will be going out to eat for awhile...or if I do it will be with another wls patient...and we can share.

Hello! I also had my first restaurant experience. My husband ordered a plate and an extra side. I took my small share of what I could have. It worked out great.

Good luck!

Whomever thinks this is the easy way out is retarded...it is a drastic lifestyle change

holy moly - an omlette from IHOP here in Kansas is 8.99 for the BIGGEST one, most of them are 6-8 dollars. I usually just steal about three bites from my husband. It's way more than three bites for me - but when I am asking him to give me some that's how I describe it.
