I have my medical card from bariatric pal that allows me to order off the kids menu which is cheaper and more portion appropriate. Chinese buffets won't let you take home leftovers for an obvious reason, but most of them have a takeout container in which you pay for your food by weighing it at the cash register. the only buffet in my town that offers a gastric bypass discount is Pizza Ranch and it is a substantial discount. it is my go to for buffet especially their chicken. I love Chinese buffet so when I go, I try to get a small sample of the things I like and make sure I set down my fork between bites and chew my food about 50 times b4 the next bite. those are what helps me to maintain my weight and still enjoy eating out. many times my wife and I will only order one meal at a restaurant and ask for an extra plate. it cuts your dinner price in half and there's usually no left overs.
