Thinking of you and I hope you have a rapid recovery. I'm so sorry this happened :-(

ChristineR got a reaction from Zeus Iris Dox in Stage 2 diet, What do you order at a Restaurant?
Well it depends on the restaurant. I don't go anywhere without looking at nutritional information online first. At Texas Roadhouse they have an oven roasted chicken and I get a side of unsweetened applesauce. I really can only eat the leg and a few bites of apple sauce so I bring it home. I also had their portabello mushroom chicken (very tender) but it comes in 8 oz so the calories/fat went down greatly with the portion you can actually eat. At Red Lobster I had the stuffed flounder with green beans but only ate about 1/2 of the fish it was so filling.
So that's all I've had going out. I have done zero fast food aside from 1/2 of a small chili from Wendy's.
Not sure it's very helpful, sorry.

ChristineR got a reaction from lyndeeboo in Worries about my surgery and life changes that need to be made.
I understand your feelings. This preop diet is a true test when you are living with young kids and a husband that doesn't cook. Your concerns sound very normal to me. I'm already trying to find something else that will comfort me outside of food.
I was told to stop drinking 15 mins prior and wait for 30 mins after. There is a fantastic book to read: The Experts Guide to WeightLoss Surgery by Garth Davis. I've read it about 3 times already.
