So... before i had my surgery, my husband and i would frequent this little asian buffet for lunch at least once per week (we work together). I explained to the owner, the week before surgery, that he would sadly not see me for a while .... Well today I went back and this is what happened.

First, I asked the Manager/Owner if he would sell me a smaller priced buffet and he asked me if I had my little card the surgeons gives you..

I proudly said "Yes I Do"...

I picked up my buffet plate and proceeded to the food.... I ate 2 steamed dumpling, 6 steamed very small shrimp, one thin cut peice of beef about the size of 1/2 a stick of gum, and 4 or 5 sips of Soup broth. That was it..... could not handle any more. My big surprise, when I was only charged $4.15 for my buffet and my waitress gave me my tea (which comes with the buffet) to go.

THANK YOU LITTLE CARD..... SUCCESS!

I'm excited.... I can handle to buffet with ease and control. I feel so happy

That is awesome!!

What little card are you talking about? I have not had surgery yet, so I assume it is something I will be given as well!

Not everyone gets the card.

I read a lot of places aren't doing them.

But, you can tell restaurant people and see if they will help with pricing. Or, you could just order a smaller order.

Anyway!

Congratulations on your success.

i need to ask for a card! lol

cant wait for purees lol

I've lost 30 lbs (my bmi is now 30.8) I started feeling normal as soon as I was able to drink Protein...

I can now eat whatever I want as long as the portion size is small and i don't eat to much.

I get a to go box for buffets and pay by the pound, it's cheaper and I have leftovers, DOUBLE SCORE ! ! ! I can't bring myself to use a card, I know some have zero issue with it, and I'm glad it works for some people. Just for me, they didn't charge me triple when I ate enough for 3 people, so I'm not going to ask them to accommodate me because I chose to have my anatomy altered so I'd put the fork down. Plus, I'm not one to share my medical history with complete strangers much less that I had bariatric surgery so I wouldn't be fat anymore.

YAY for the little card. Used mine for the first time tonight as well so I could order off the kids menu at IHop. The portion was still HUGE. I ate maybe 1/8th of the kids omelet and none of the fruit lol

I never asked for the card, I just don't think I need to share my life with strangers for a discount. I choose wisely and spread a meal out over 3 meals or I share a meal, depending whom I am with.
