My husband called me a cheap date this morning. He is a breakfast freak (he loves his bacon and eggs or french toast) and we have several favorite resturants that we use to frequent several times a months in the past before I was sleeved. Today we went to Cracker Barrell for the first time since pre-surgery diet and being sleeved and I made smart choices from their menu. I got the one egg with bacon-I requested EggBeaters and asked for no toast or biscuit. I barely was able to eat the entire egg and only had one piece of bacon-I gave him my second. Our bill was $5 lower than when we usually go out. He laughs now but wait, once he has his surgery it will go down even lower. I did realize I still need to learn to eat slower out in public. We are so use to ordering, eating and leaving-in and out quickly that this will be a new habit to learn.

That's great and yum...love Cracker Barrel!

I love being a cheap date! lol.

That is great that he is getting sleeved also. My hubby is getting sleeved too, his approval came too late in Dec. 2010 for it to happen, so we are thinking this month or next. I am hoping once he is sleeved and recovered that we can share meals out.

Ha ha - I'm a cheap date too... don't even need to order a drink with food, just tap water to save the waiter from keeping offering you a drink!

I am a cheap date too!! My husband orders and gives me part of his. I also order Water and put lemon and sweet and low in it. so we only have to pay for one order!! I love it.

Hooray for you!! I am happy to be a cheap date, and have been called that several times now. My husband even said that he was going to get me a set of doll dishes to eat off of because I eat so little!

Don't you LOVE IT???? What a change in how I feel from LAST new Years.

Congratulations, Cinderella
