Megan, I'm on Day 8 of pre surgery liquid.. no problem... I suggest you order some kind of salad with chicken on top... and dressing some kind of light dressing on the side. Then mostly eat the chicken (protein) and some of the salad with as little dressing as you can get away with. Your lunch appointment won't even think twice. That's how "thin" people eat. Then I've been drinking ice Water with lemon slices in it when I go out with anyone, instead of soda.. I hate tea. The other day I went to Chinese with someone for a business lunch and I had cabbage Soup and ate the broth only, which is on the diet... so soup is an option also. Hope those suggestions help.

I'm curious why you will lose more when you're intaking more calories?
