Anyone Else Hate To Eat Out?

You can always split a meal with someone else or give your to-go box to a homeless person.

I have tons of business lunches that I have to deal with. I usually order a small house salad with grilled chicken, or if there's an entree salad that sounds good I order that, eat primarily the Protein (usually chicken) and leave the rest. If I don't want people to ask me why I'm not eating, I take really small bites and push the food around a lot.

I still enjoy the experience of dining out, but we don't do it very often because we're trying to save $$, so it's usually just work-related functions.

Honestly, you will be surprised at how much normally you will be able to eat after you are farther out. I can eat A LOT of salad. I guess that's because lettuce chews down to nothing. Some places even offer half salads. I love that. half of a chicken salad is just about perfect.

So bizarre. Knowing that the waitstaff was muttering weight-based insults when we did eat the old way. Now dealing with their intrusive concerns as to why we don't eat. I figure that if they are rude enough to delve into why I didn't eat, I am totally fine with telling them that I had a sleeve. It's none of their business. As far as throwing the food away, you've already paid for it. It's yours to do with as you see fit. Better than eating all of it!

I haven't eaten out much since my sleeve but did ALLLL the time before. I have had some complications and not gotten out much, now on a feeding tube, nothing by mouth.

I guess my biggest issue is trying to order something that will reheat well or my husband will eat. It is so pricey to waste it. On the flip side, my pocket book seems to be overflowing with money now!
